You're listening to Family Talk, the radio broadcasting division of the James Dobson Family Institute.

I am that James Dobson, and I'm so pleased that you've joined us today. this today of

of course is September 11th. You know younger generations

don't know how life was before that day. Airport security took less time to

get through that's for sure and there was far less concern about possible terror attacks ever taking place on U.S. soil.

The attacks that happened on September 11, 2001 forever changed our country.

People who watched what happened can remember exactly what they were doing on that day.

I remember personally being at work, got to work early on that morning of September 11, 2001, and when I heard the reports I saw a video happening

of the second plane going into the second tower, it was one of the most surreal experiences

I've ever experienced.

You know, the world seemed to stop when the World Trade Center towers in New York were hit,

and after a little while, it seemed like things may be over and then the Pentagon was hit.

The disbelief and uncertainty of what might happen next was filling everyone's mind nationwide.

And then, Flight 93 crashed after passengers and crew stormed the cockpit preventing terrorists from hitting yet

another target, this time in Washington, D.C.

Throughout the day, people called their loved ones to see if they were okay and if they had seen what happened.

Schools tuned into the live broadcast of what was going on in the aftermath.

It is definitely a day most of us will never forget.

Now today, here on September 11, 2024,

we want to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks

on this day 23 years ago.

Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives, including first responders.
