On February 26, 1993, a bomb was placed in a car parked at the World Trade Centre, which when blasted claimed the lives of six people and injured over a thousand people. However, the structure was hit by the third plane. Al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist organisation led by Osama bin Laden and known for its terror, hijacked four aircraft and used them as a means for suicide attacks in the United States.

Twenty-one years ago, our world was drastically changed on September 11, 2001, when the United States was cowardly and viciously attacked by terrorists.

In the aftermath of September 11, the phrase, ‘Never Forget,” became a symbol. Imagine, as innocent people ran down the stairs, those first responders kept running up. Today, we remember our heroes; the first responders who ran up the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) stairs.

2008: Fire breaks out in the Channel Tunnel, leading to a six month closure. Believing that bin Laden was under Taliban protection in Afghanistan, he issued an ultimatum: to hand him over and close every terror training camp. Live images of the impact and the falling buildings were beamed around the world. Osama bin Laden was the mastermind and 19 of his followers played a direct role in the atrocities themselves. The third plane struck the Pentagon, the headquarters of America's Department of Defence. The effects were seismic.

“The memorial features a steel beam from one of the World Trade Center towers, donated to the Myrtle Beach community by retired New York City firefighters,” the website reads. In fact, there is no record of any one from South Carolina dying in the attacks. Almost 3,000 people were killed between the New York, Washington D.C. It has been 21 years since two planes were flown into the twin towers in New York City on Sept. [New York is the state with the second highest amount of people who moved to the Myrtle Beach area](https://www.wbtw.com/news/grand-strand/top-10-states-that-are-fueling-myrtle-beach-areas-growth/). Myrtle Beach is actually home to a great number of people from New York and New Jersey, which is where most of the people who died in the attacks called home.

The scope of our nation's failure to care for its most vulnerable people during the pandemic has been orders of magnitude worse than on 9/11.

His book, “ [The Ground Truth](https://www.amazon.com/Ground-Truth-Untold-America-Attack/dp/1594488940),” exploring the similarities of the preparedness and response to 9/11 with the preparedness and response to Katrina, was a New York Times Notable Book. Once containment is lost, and the potential for mass fatalities across boundaries becomes clear, it is no longer appropriate for the states to take the lead; in its transformation from an epidemic to a pandemic, it also has been transformed from a public health emergency to a crisis requiring that we provide, as the Constitution’s preamble puts it, a “common defense.” His book “ [Way Too Fast: An American Reckoning](https://www.amazon.com/Way-Too-Fast-Reckoning-DeGennaro/dp/B09W747ZPY#:~:text=Way%20Too%20Fast%2C%20An%20American,of%20our%20popular%20music%20literature.),” was published in 2022.

But before it can be accomplished, someone — a president, perhaps, or an association of governors? The pandemic was broken into 50 separate epidemics and dumped into the reluctant embrace of the surprised and unprepared governors.” This would require a major realignment of responsibilities that should be defined by act of Congress. As long as a pathogen can be contained, states should take the lead in containment measures; federal government agencies are there to support them. You’re going to be missing 50 percent of the cases.” Dr. As former CDC Director Robert Redfield put it later, “That whole idea that you were going to diagnose cases based on symptoms, isolate them, and contact-trace around them was not going to work. In other words, there would be time to react. Both seemed formidable prior to the critical events.

And it falls to us to keep it safe on behalf of all those we lost 21 years ago, on behalf of all those who have given their whole souls to the cause of this nation every day since. And may God honor the members of the military we lost and all those we lost here on 9/11. And that is what we owe future generations of Americans to come. And to all our service members and their families, our veterans, our Gold Star families, all the survivors and caregivers and loved ones who have sacrificed so much for our nation: We owe you. They will feel the connection that will come to pass on September 11, 2001, and how our country was forever changed. Because on this day, it is not about the past, it’s about the future. To me, that’s the greatest lesson of September 11. But what we did change — what we will not change, what we cannot change, never will, is the character of this nation that the terrorists thought they could wound. We’ll continue to monitor and disrupt those terrorist activities wherever we find them, wherever they exist. Think of all of your loved ones, particularly those on that flight — ordinary citizens who said, “We will not let this stand,” who risked and lost their lives so even more people would not die. They raced into the breach between the fourth and fifth corridors. Twenty-one years ago — twenty-one years, and still we kept our promise: Never Forget.
