A quarter century later, the impact of September 11 remains. Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, honor the bravery shown that day, and carry forward our unwavering spirit of resilience and hope that endures 25 years later.

🔴 La brève fermeture de l’aéroport d’Orly ce matin est due à un incident sur un ATR de Chalair.
Le vol CE8102 reliant Paris Orly à Castres a fair demi-tour juste après son décollage.
En revenant se poser en urgence, l’ATR42-500 s’est immobilisé au croisement des deux pistes en service, ce qui a entraîné la fermeture de l’aéroport.
La ruta de la arena. Una trampa de 1400 kilómetros que conduce a la joya de la corona argentina
Desde Entre Ríos a Vaca Muerta, 1400 kilómetros entre miles de camiones con tramos en los que cualquier error se convierte en el final. Ahí, en esa cinta de asfalto que tiene 65 años y nunca se ensanchó, no hay heroísmo posible ni segunda chance. Poco más de 100 kilómetros de autovía; después, a pelear con la desidia durante 1300 kilómetros más que separan a las canteras de arena de Ibicuy con el yacimiento neuquino.

At exactly 9:11 AM, more than 30 Times Square billboards changed together, replacing their advertisements with a tribute for one minute of silence.
Twenty-five years later, in one of the loudest places in New York City, the city paused to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
I filmed this video during my morning walk on my birthday 🎈✨
I couldn’t have asked for a better wake-up or a more beautiful gift
In one of those corners of Italy 🇮🇹 where the Dolce Vita still lives on, untouched:
The walk between Paraggi and Portofino
🚨 BREAKING: Following yesterday’s devastating flash floods in Joaçaba, Santa Catarina, Brazil, hundreds of cars were swept away after torrential rain. Further flooding, landslides, infrastructure damage, and power outages remain possible as conditions evolve.
Thick smoke continues to blanket the area near the Regent’s Office on Jl. Lintas, with conditions still not improving after several weeks.(11, 09, 2026)

BOLT FROM THE BLUE!⚡️Caught on camera this week in the Tampa Bay area. Classic example of how lightning can strike 10 to even 25 miles away from a parent thunderstorm. 6 people have died in Florida from lightning strikes so far this year. When thunder roars, go indoors!

🚊 NUEVO AVANCE DE OBRA | ETAPA IV
Les compartimos nuevos avances de las obras correspondientes a la ETAPA IV del MetroTranvía, en el Aeropuerto Internacional El Plumerillo.
¿Cómo le explicás a los habitantes del alto valle (una de las zonas más dinámicas del país) que el operador provincial rionegrino está rescatando material rodante que no se usa hace décadas para prestar servicios en su región?
Delta Flight 15 takes off from Frankfurt at dawn.
On board: 218 passengers. Families. Business travelers. A pregnant woman. Shirley Brooks-Jones, 65 years old, heading home to Columbus, Ohio.
Five hours into the flight, a note reaches the cockpit.
All U.S. airspace is closed. Land immediately.
The captain says nothing about why. He tells passengers it's a minor instrument problem. Privately, the crew already knows about the World Trade Center.
Gander International Airport. Newfoundland, Canada. Midday.
The plane touches down 400 miles off its route. Out the window, passengers count 38 other jumbo jets already parked on the tarmac.
By nightfall, 53 international flights sit grounded here. Nearly 6,600 people are stuck, with nowhere to go.
Nobody is allowed off.
For 28 hours, 218 people sit inside that plane. No real answers. No word on what's happening back home.
Here's what makes it worse: most of them don't yet know if their own families are safe.
Word finally spreads through the cabin. Two hijacked planes. The towers. The Pentagon. A field in Pennsylvania.
The plane goes silent.
Gander. Day two.
Passengers finally step off the aircraft. They're bused 45 kilometers to a town called Lewisporte.
Population: just over 3,300 people.
Lewisporte has no idea 218 strangers are about to double its guest capacity overnight. It doesn't matter.
The mayor puts out one call for bedding and food.
The whole town answers.
Schools close. Churches open. The Lions Club clears its hall and sets up cots by hand. High schoolers skip class to serve meals and translate for confused travelers.
The pregnant passenger is placed in a home across the street from urgent care.
Elderly passengers are welcomed into private houses, not shelters.
Phone lines are opened for free, unlimited, day and night.
When passengers try to pay shopkeepers back, the answer is always no.
Nobody in Lewisporte will take a dollar.
Local volunteers even bring out screech, the region's famous rum, and host a mock "screeching-in" ceremony to make the exhausted travelers laugh.
For three days, this town of fishermen and loggers cares for people it has never met and will likely never see again.
Brooks-Jones later calls it something simple.
She says: "the most beautiful experience I have ever had in my life."
Gander Airport. Three days later. Departure.
Flight 15 is finally cleared to fly home.
Before takeoff, Brooks-Jones asks the captain for one thing: permission to speak on the intercom.
He hands her the microphone.
She reminds everyone what Lewisporte just did for them. Then she asks for something back.
Pledge sheets start moving up the aisle.
Business travelers write checks. Strangers pass around pens. By the time wheels touch down in Atlanta, passengers have pledged $15,000.
Brooks-Jones doesn't stop there.
Back in Columbus, she calls the Columbus Foundation. An anonymous donor hears the story and matches it instantly, doubling it to $30,000.
In 2002, the fund gets a name: the Lewisporte Area Flight 15 Scholarship Fund.
It's built for one purpose. Send local kids to college.
More than two decades later.
The fund is still active.
It has sent more than 300 students from the Lewisporte area to college and trade school. Doctors. Nurses. Engineers. Teachers.
Some of them weren't born yet when Flight 15 landed.
Brooks-Jones has flown back to Newfoundland more than two dozen times since 2001. She still shows up for graduation ceremonies.
The friendships that started on cots in a high school gym are still going, more than 20 years on.
Most people who know this story didn't hear it from a history book.
They heard it from a Broadway stage. Lewisporte and Gander's kindness became a musical called "Come From Away." It has since played in cities across the world.
Few people watching that show realize the scholarship fund behind it is still cutting checks to real students, every single year.
Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001.
He has been blind since birth.
His guide dog, Roselle, was under his desk when the plane hit.
The building lurched.
Smoke filled the offices.
People shouted.
Roselle stood, calm, and waited for the harness.
They went into Stairwell B and started down. Seventy-eight floors.
Firefighters passed them going up.
Jet fuel burned in the air.
A woman stopped, too afraid to keep walking.
Hingson talked her forward.
Roselle never pulled away, never panicked, never stopped.
They reached the lobby and then the street.
Minutes later the South Tower fell and a wall of dust rolled over them.
Roselle kept leading.
Hingson lived.
Roselle lived.
They walked out of a building that would not be standing an hour later.
He has spent the years since telling the story not as a miracle of sight, but as a story of trust: a man who could not see the stairs, and a dog who did not need to be told that the only way out was down.
Remember Michael Hingson.
Remember Roselle.
Remember everyone who started down those stairs and never reached the street.
