In all, 2,977 people died in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. That number, of course, excludes the 19 Islamic terrorists who committed the atrocities against defenseless citizens. The victims include the 2,753 killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers, the 184 killed at the Pentagon, and the 40 killed in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. This number does not include the hundreds of victims whose death warrants were signed when they responded to the call to assist at Ground Zero, and have since fallen as a result.
The terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, caused more law enforcement line-of-duty deaths than any other single incident in American history. Our friends at The Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc., have complied a full list of officers who died as a direct result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We thank them and share their tribute here. One officer was killed when United Flight 93 crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania as he and other passengers attempted to regain control of the plane from the hijackers. 71 officers were killed when the two World Trade Center buildings collapsed in New York City. Dozens more have passed away in the years following 2001 as the direct result of illnesses contracted while working in the hazardous conditions immediately following the attacks in New York. Let us pay tribute to the law enforcement officers, representing 10 different agencies, who died as a direct result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
God bless each of you, and those who have suffered your loss for these many years since. I remember each of you.
