HE’S NEAR THE BACK OF THE PLANE. THEY FORCED MOST OF THE PASSENGERS INTO FIRST CLASS. THERE ARE FOURTEEN OF US HERE IN THE BACK. FIVE ARE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS.

This powerful image reminds us that tragedy can break buildings, but it cannot break the human spirit. On 9/11, love proved stronger than hate. The world stood still, and then it stood together. We honor the fallen, salute the heroes, and hold close the memories of those who never made it home. The wounds of that day still ache, but through unity and compassion, we continue to heal.

NEVER FORGOTTEN: September 11, 2001 — 10:28:24 a.m.
Photojournalist Bill Biggart captured his final image just moments before the North Tower collapsed. In the face of unimaginable chaos, he stood his ground, documenting truth with unwavering courage.
Four days later, his body was found alongside his press credentials, three cameras, and six rolls of film. One compact flash card survived, holding nearly 150 photographs — a lasting testament to his bravery and dedication.
