This week, Down Range Radio is all dedicated to the September 11 attacks, a series of four coordinated suicide attacks against the United States in 2001. Ten years later, many Americans still remember clearly the unfolding of horrible events on that day. Planes flying into the World Trade Center; people jumping out of windows more than 100 stories high; thousands of civilians fleeing out of downtown Manhattan by foot: These kinds of images are hard to forget.
Michael Bane went to New York just days after the attack to visit an old friend and to check on a building close to WTC where he used to live. In this edition of DR Radio, he shares his personal and emotional journey back to the chaos in New York after the attacks.

Ten years on from that awful day and I still cannot string together words meaningful enough to express my feelings for everyone and everything we’ve lost since then. It means a lot to me to know some of us can.
Never Forget.

That day is one of unfathomable pain and tears….still.
It’s easy to forget…Thanks for sharing Michael.
Michael, Thanks for relating your story. Let us never forget all the heroes and victims of that day and the days that followed. The image of you standing at Ground Zero with the cross-section of America around you is POWERFUL!
