Tomorrow will mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. Nineteen Al-Qaeda terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people that day using passenger planes as missiles, beginning in New York City. It was the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil in U.S. history. Chairman and CEO of the Tunnel 2 Towers foundation, Frank Siller lost his firefighter brother, Stephen Siller on September 11. This year to honor his brother’s memory he has been on a journey walking for the past few weeks starting from the Pentagon in Washington D.C. to Shanksville, PA and will end his walk Saturday at Ground Zero in New York. Siller joins to share his brother’s story, tell us what has been going through his mind since his journey began and what he wants the younger generation to know about the importance of never forgetting 9/11.
On September 11th, 2001, four planes were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists, however only three of these reached their intended destination. Passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 fought with the hijackers on the aircraft and the plane subsequently crash landed into an empty field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Ken Nacke, the brother of Louis “Joey” Nacke who died aboard Flight 93, joins to discuss the difficult 20th anniversary of 9/11, recounting his memory from that infamous day, his disbelief that his brother was on Flight 93 and his pride in his brother and others who fought back against the hijackers on their flight. Ken shares fond memories of his brother, and he emphasizes the importance of telling new generations about September 11th, so they never forget that dark day etched into American history.
