15 lat temu terroryści z Al-Kaidy uprowadzili cztery samoloty pasażerskie i przeprowadzili serię barbarzyńskich zamachów. Dwie z maszyn uderzyły w wieże World Trade Center, zabijając w sumie 2602 osoby. W zamachu zginęło sześcioro Polaków. Co roku 11 września świat staje na moment, by uczcić pamięć o tych, którzy w tym dniu zginęli z ręki terrorystów. Przypomnij sobie najbardziej wstrząsające zdjęcia z tej tragedii.






















World Trade Center and the indomitable spirit of the Irish

I have watched it rise from a subway platform in faraway Queens, its epic profile soaring high over the Manhattan skyline.

It's a quietly beautiful building, the new 1 World Trade Center.

But I don't talk to people about it because I discovered that I can't. I find myself becoming tongue-tied, my heart fills. Each day when that arresting silhouette comes into view, I feel a momentary mixture of elation and sorrow. It's such an Irish reaction, that. The sorrow of history in an inseparable dance with the hopes of tomorrow. When you're Irish, you can't ever seem to have one without the other.

Although I have never met them, I am proud beyond words of the Irish-American master craftsmen who built 1 World Trade Center. That army of dedicated carpenters, laborers, electricians—all trades filled with the Irish here for generations back—worked to raise 1 World Trade Center heavenward with a surety that never fails.
