Pentagon Memorial
Description
On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked a plane and flew it into the Pentagon, our nation’s military headquarters, and killed 184 federal employees, military personnel, civilians and flight crew. The victims – men, women, and children– ranged in age from three to 71, and represented a cross-section of America. The physical damage to the Pentagon was rebuilt in less than one year, but the attacks forever changed our world. This website allows you to explore the memorial.
Time : beyond 9/11 [portraits of resilience]
Description
"9/11 didn't end on 9/11. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the attacks, TIME brings you untold stories from 40 men and women whose lives changed that day — from the first responders at the World Trade Center to the warriors of Iraq and Afghanistan, from the architects of the 10-year pursuit of Osama bin Laden to the survivors who rebuilt their lives after enduring unspeakable tragedy. Their words and images, captured in stunning black-and-white portraits by photographer Marco Grob, offer a powerful tribute to the spirit of resilience."
