@OHAOregon @OHAOregon, there are 8,662 new negative tests in the update, and 9,182 overall test results returned, which from what I have tracked appear to be close to all-time highs for one day, if not the top mark. Where does today stands in terms of overall testing results?

Wow, I've never seen this picture before. #NeverForget

The day after 9/11, 5000 American tourists and expats gathered at the gates of Buckingham Palace.

At the request of the Queen, the band of the Coldstream Guards broke with hundreds of years of tradition to play The Star Spangled Banner during the changing of the guard.

The cockpit of Flight 93 is heroically broken into by passengers who realized their lives were lost, but who having learned on airplane phones of the previous hijackings, were determined to take back control of the plane. It crash landed into a field in Shanksville, PA.

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

A TV was brought into the room and POTUS watched the replays of the planes hitting the towers. The phone he is on is a secure phone, designed so no adversaries can listen in on his calls.

If you have an opportunity, read this thread tomorrow. @AriFleischer has annually recounted his first-hand experience on 9/11 as press secretary next to President Bush on for a while now. It's an excellent, yet sobering thing to read through. Hard to imagine it's been 19 years.

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

The President was scheduled to read with school kids and make a speech about the importance of education, and push for his reform proposals, the next morning, September 11, 2001 at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota.
