  CORRECTIONS: <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHRqDzV58Vs&amp;t=205">3:25</a> Should read 1990- Bin Laden finds an unlikely partner in General Shahnawaz Tanai, a hardcore communist who wishes to overthrow the Afghan government in a coup led by Pakistan&apos;s Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, whom Bin Laden disagrees with ideologically and attempted to have thrown out by organizing a no-confidence vote against her the year prior. Bin Laden agrees to fund the coup attempt by bribing many Afghan army officials, but the coup ultimately fails.<br><br>Working to see if we can replace the video with the proper correction.

  Man imagine being in a situation where you have to choose burning to death or jumping from 80 stories up.

  We were the class of 2001. This was literally the introduction to the &quot;real world&quot; for us. It still blows my mind that so many kids didn&apos;t experience this. It&apos;s becoming nearly as distant to this Generation as Pearl Harbor is to us. I&apos;ll never forget my friend calling and waking me up that morning, frantically. &quot;You HAVE to turn on the T.V.&quot; I replied &quot;why what channel?&quot; &quot;EVERY channel...&quot;

  My grandpa was a firefighter in DC during 9/11 and responded to the pentagon, luckily he was able to return home and is still around.

  The passengers and crew who took the plane back are real heroes, they were truly acting selflessly. I can’t even fathom what they did. Truly incredible. Rest in peace to all of the 9-11 victims

  Trying to get your $400 deposit back from a rental van that just exploded is wild 😅

  There is a room in the 9/11 museum where they play all the voicemails left by plane passengers, and it is the most heartbreaking room in the most heartbreaking museum. If you visit, bring tissues and be prepared for lots of tears.

  When the first plane hit, most people thought it was an unfortunate accident. But when that second plane hit…people realized that this wasn’t an accident. I can’t imagine the fear they felt, what was racing thought their heads at the time. Truly horrific.

  Jeremy Glick was my cousin. He was one the ones that attacked the highjackers and tried to storm the cockpit of flight 93. He was trained in martial arts and helped plan the retaliation. I was far to young to remember him personally, but his actions will forever stay with me, and I will forever try my best to to keep the memory of him alive. He left behind a wife and an infant daughter who is probably close too my age now.

  My aunt was a worker in tower 7, and she actually has an amazing story from this day. At the time she was extremely pregnant and was caught in traffic on that morning. This caused her to be late for the collapse of the towers. The crazy thing is, the next day, my cousin was born.

  &quot;Are you ready? Okay. Let&apos;s roll.&quot; <br><br>Those words by the passengers of flight 93 are haunting but incredible. Knowing they were backed into a corner, they sacrificed themselves rather than be another missle in an evil plot.
