In honor of the 20th anniversary of 9-11, Planning and Development Department Staff completed four round trips of 6 flights of stairs in our offices at 611 Walker. Each round trip was dedicated to the hijacked flights on 9-11: American Airlines Flight 11, which flew into the North Tower; United Airlines Flight 175 , which hit the South World Trade Center Tower; American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, and Flight 93, which did not reach its Washington D.C. target, but crashed in Pennsylvania. We honor our first responders and military, the American lives lost and the families who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks.
