I will never forget the bright September day, standing at my desk in the White House, when my young assistant said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center - and then a second one - and a third, the Pentagon.

On September 11, the murders of World Trade Center employees and visitors took the lives of numerous nationalities, ethnic groups and religious followers.

The claim that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked because fundamentalists hate our prosperity and freedom is a ridiculous lie.

Americans will never forget the images of crashing planes and the World Trade Center towers coming down. Yet, this archive not only conveys the tragic moments of September 11, 2001, but also explains the history behind the buildings and events.

Every year, I am conscious of the anniversary of my 1974 World Trade Center walk.
