9/11

See how Khloe Kardashian, Mark Wahlberg and more paid tribute to the victims and heroes of 9/11.

Many of us have kids who weren't around in 2001 when 9/11 happened, so their experience of it has come through limited teachings at school and Youtube videos. Here are some tips to open up in-person conversations.

On the 20th anniversary of one of the darkest days in American history, the Meridian Fire Department invites you to honor those who lost their lives with a special memorial ceremony.

Whether you lived through it or not, it's worth the trip.

Imagine being in a state of emergency, calling 911 and not getting the emergency dispatch you expect. In life's most desperate times, every second count, but Idahoans are finding that their phones are sending them to the wrong place! Here's what's going on.

Every time 9/11 rolls around, I think about the first responders who rushed into the Trade Towers that day in 2001 to save lives, thinking very little about their own. Would any of us have had the guts? It makes today the perfect day to thank a first responder in the Treasure Valley for what they do on a daily basis And there's one simple way to do it.

The events of September 11, 2001 changed a lot of things. Airline security got tighter, the War on Terror became a regular national news item, and, overall, the outside seemed a little less safe than it had the day before. The repercussions of 9/11 were also felt as far as Hollywood, with the industry’s output of films based on or around themes of violence, terrorism, and war taking on a more serious, sinister bent. “Post-9/11 horror” and “post-9/11 action” became units students study in film class. A lot of films already in production went through slight alterations: the World Trade Center towers were digitally erased from New York City skyline scenes in movies released after the attacks, and entire scenes featuring the towers were cut. Hawaii is about the furthest you can get from New York and still be in the U.S., but even so, there’s a whole scene in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch that was altered so that audiences watching the film so soon after 9/11 wouldn’t be disturbed.

Today, as we remember the events of 15 years ago, and the tragedy and heroism that was displayed, I wanted to share a look at 9/11 Memorials in both Washington DC and New York.
