Remembering 911
Today is the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by the Islamist terrorist group al Qaeda.

This is a 5-minute video memorial. No burning buildings, no rubble, no explosions, no speeches, no screeches, no Bin Laden, no bodies. Just a remembrance of some people whose lives were cut short through no fault of their own, with poignant candid snapshots from their lives, accompanied by a musical background.
