9/11

"I always sang it as a song of empowerment," Benatar explains, "but this took on a whole other life that night."

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America. To make sure we never forget, everyone is being asked to take part in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum #RemembertheSky.

Rare photographs from 9/11 by first responder William Straite reveal the full scale of destruction at Ground Zero and the bravery of those who risked everything to help.

In 2002, Budweiser aired a powerful Super Bowl commercial honoring 9/11 victims. The Clydesdales bowed before the New York skyline, in a tribute that aired only once and was remade for the 20th anniversary.

Crossing the street to the 9/11 Memorial, the noise of New York City fades. Visitors trace names, leave roses, and descend into a museum filled with stories, artifacts, and the Room of Faces, honoring those lost on September 11.

One local author has written a poem to not only remember and honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, but to honor those who dedicated their lives to their country as a result of that fateful day and beyond.

23-years-ago on September 11, 2001, it was a normal radio morning for WIBX's Bill Keeler. He was doing his morning show on rock radio station WRCK and it seemed like a normal morning. Somewhere shortly after 8:46 a.m. things began to change as the television in the studio began showing images of fire coming from the World Trade Center in New York City. The on-air crew would soon find out that America would never be the same.

A man from New York, who has already served two state prison terms, appears to be heading back to the big house over a rather trivial matter.

Believe it or not, cases of the infamous plague still arise every year and sometimes those cases appear here in America.

A New Hartford native and 27 year veteran of the New York State Police has passed away from 9/11 related illness.
