10:28 a.m.: The World Trade Center's north tower collapses from the top down as if it were being peeled apart, releasing a tremendous cloud of debris and smoke.
There were 2,974 fatalities, not including the 19 hijackers: 246 on the four planes (no one on board any of the hijacked aircraft survived) 2,603 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon.
TOTAL AMERICAN DEATHS=5,948
If we pull out of Iraq, your Marine brothers that gave their lives to ensure that the culprits of this would pay dearly would have died in vein. I am going to enlist, and once I become a Marine I'm sure of one thing.
AL-QEADA WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS.
