September 11th

Highly recommended reading, on this 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks:

102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive inside the Twin Towers.

https://www.amazon.com/102-Minutes-Unforgettable-Survive-Inside/dp/0805094210/ref

The book, published in hardcover by Times Books in 2005, and in paperback the following year, is by the journalists Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn.  The book was re-released, with a slightly different subtitle and a new postscript, in 2011, just before the tenth anniversary of September 11th.

The title of the book refers to the timeline of the catastrophe in Manhattan.

At 8:46 a.m., on September 11th, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (1 WTC).

United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower (2 WTC) at 9:03 a.m.

The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m.  The North Tower fell at 10:28 a.m.--102 minutes after the attacks in New York began.
