The fallen
By Wade KwonThe terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, killed nearly 3,000 people. Several had ties to Alabama, including:
Lynn Edwards Angell, 52, a Birmingham native;
library volunteer, aboard American Airlines flight 11
Carl Max Hammond Jr., 37, of Geneva;
physics researcher, aboard United Airlines flight 175
Nehamon Lyons IV, 30, of Mobile;
operations specialist second class, U.S. Navy, serving at the Pentagon
Marsha Dianah Ratchford, 34, of Prichard;
information systems technician first class, U.S. Navy, serving at the Pentagon
Dorothy Temple, 50, a Montgomery native;
New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, at the World Trade Center
Sgt. Tamara C. Thurman, 25, of Brewton;
classified employee, U.S. Army, serving at the Pentagon
Maj. Dwayne Williams, 40, a Jacksonville native;
U.S. Army, serving at the Pentagon
Thomas Franklin of The Record of Bergen County, N.J., shot the photo of firefighters raising the American flag at Ground Zero on the afternoon of Sept. 11. (The flag has gone missing since then.)
On Sept. 9, 2002, my newspaper, the Birmingham Post-Herald, published a memorial page, which features the names of all those lost in New York, Washington and United Airlines flight 93 outside Shanksville, Pa.
(You can download the 4.3MB version, which prints out at roughly 12 by 18 inches.)
Please take a moment today to remember all of the victims and their loved ones on the fifth anniversary of this dark day in American history.
