Introduction : 

Introduction The events of September 11th, 2001, took the lives of approximately 3,000 people in New York and Washington, D.C.. These events also affected the lives of tens of millions around the world. Many of us know where we were, who we were with, and other details of that morning. As much as we think that we will remember everything about that day, we won’t. This CD-ROM will help us to remember the events of that day. The only thing more important than remembering that day for ourselves is to never forget that day for all of those whose lives were lost. G. Gougler – 5/2002

September 11th Timeline Cont. : 

September 11th Timeline Cont. The purpose of this CD-ROM is to document the tragic history that occurred on September 11, 2001. Unfortunately, documented history is not always pleasant to see. Thousands of people’s mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, coworkers, and friends lost their lives that day; many of those chose to end their lives by leaping from windows from the WTC knowing that they would not survive. We owe it to these victims to put ourselves in their situation. Can you possibly imagine the desperation that these people felt? What would you have done?
