2. The Names
There are nearly 3,000 names
as they appear inscribed in
bronze on the Memorial. Every
name can be located by the
panel on which it is inscribed. A
panel address is comprised of
the letter N or S (N for north
pool, S for south pool) followed
by a number 1 through 76.

3. The Pentagon
A hijacked plane had crashed
into the western side of the
Pentagon, killing 189 people
(the five hijackers, 59 others
aboard the plane, and 125 in
the building).

4. The Towers
Watching the towers and debris fall was
horrifying for everyone that day.

5. North Tower
Hijackers crashed Flight 11 into floors
93-99 of the World Trade Center's
North Tower, killing everyone on board
and hundreds within the building.
Hijacked Flight 11 severed all three
North Tower emergency
stairwells, making evacuation
impossible for those that were alive on
or above the impact floors.

6. South Tower
One stairwell in the South
Tower remained passable,
although it was choked with
debris. Eighteen people
used it to evacuate from
above the impact zone.

7. Seen all around
The smoke had been seen
from faraway and near.

8. The Evacuation
 As first responders arrived and deployed
into the stricken buildings, tenants
continued to evacuate the North and
South Towers.

each year including the 21 gun salute.

public safety officers who died in the
line of duty. A Freedom Walk was held
at 6:30 p.m. A 21-gun salute was also
