9/11

We will never forget.

Fourteen years later, the country remembered the events of September 11, 2001, and honored those who died.

No one suffering from an emergency expects to be greeted by a recording when they dial 911. Yet 911 callers in Caddo County, Oklahoma, were unable to reach a human operator for months in 2013. Instead, they were routed to an automated message that instructed callers to “hang up and dial 911″ if their call is an emergency.

No one likes a clingy person. Especially the police.

5-year-old Savannah, from Indiana, is warming hearts all over the internet with the recording of the 911 call she helped her dad make when he began to have a heart attack.

Today marks the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Just like individuals from any profession, many members of the rock + metal community are paying their respects to all who were affected by the tragedies that struck New York City, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93.

On Wednesday morning in New York, family and friends of the victims of 9/11, along with law-enforcement and political leaders, gathered at the World Trade Center site to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

I can honestly say I never bought into the politicization of the September 11 attacks. Not for a second. Yes, once the facts were known, I realized it was an act of war which required a political and, likely, military response from our country. But I never thought of it as a holy war and I damn sure never thought it justified any fundamental change in the way we live our daily lives.

The argument about where and when it’s acceptable to use cell phones grew exponentially this week when a man called 911 to report someone was using a phone in a movie theater.

Sometimes you can commemorate an anniversary with a special sale, but when it comes to the anniversary of an attack on our country where thousands of people lost their lives it's best to proceed with caution.

Investigators are looking into the possibility that a part of a landing gear from one of the planes which crashed during the September 11 attacks has been found near Ground Zero in New York City.

On the 11th anniversary of September 11, 2001, intelligence officials say there is no "credible or specific" threat that terrorist organizations are planning an attack.
