On Sept. 11, 2011, the nation paused to remember the horror of Sept. 11, 2001. In observance of the 10th anniversary of the events that took place that day, The Beacon welcomes readers to share their experiences surrounding 9/11, including personal stories and photos.
We are publishing a series of readership reflections in September in honor of the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives 10 years ago as a result of the terrorists attacks by Al-Qaeda.

— Dr. Mae Sakharov — “I was teaching two home-schooled students and they came in as we saw the planes fly into the World Trade Center. The kids just wanted to continue their studies while I was fixated on the screen. My heart broke and kept breaking. I remembered seeing the Twin Towers out of my apartment window on West 11th Street and when they were built, and how we protested the height. All that and the thousands of lives gone in a flash of fire and we were changed forever.”
