As the United States ends its 'forever war' in Afghanistan, a museum in New York is teaching students about the event that set it in motion before they were born: 9/11.

Lieutenant Raymond Brown and his company out of Brooklyn risked their lives to enter the partially collapsed Marriott Hotel on Sept. 11, 2001 to dig out his trapped firefighter brothers after the south tower fell.

The 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks will be remembered at memorials across Long Island, home to about 500 of the nearly 3,000 victims killed in the World Trade Center.

New York State lawmakers passed a bill that would designate as first responders the emergency operators and dispatchers within police, fire, and emergency services departments.

Build-a-Rig For Scott, a community-based nonprofit on Long Island, held a charity event to build a ceremonial unit rig in memory of the late retired NYPD Officer Scott Blackshaw, who died at age 52 in 2018 of esophageal and brain cancer related to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.

A disbarred attorney who stole 9/11 victims compensation funds from a cancer-stricken retired NYPD police officer from Kings Park, faced justice in federal court Thursday in Westchester County, where he pleaded guilty to the theft.  

Although the Great Neck-based Teamsters Local 817 work in the entertainment industry, they were among the many unsung heroes who responded to Ground Zero within hours and spent days, weeks, and months after the attacks.

We made a commitment to make sure every 9/11 first responder, survivor and their families never have to go without the support they need or deserve. It is the very least we can do as a grateful nation.

Nostradamus has been credited with foretelling nearly every major tumultuous historical event in the past 450 years, from epic floods, apocalyptic fires and massacres to the ascension of Napoleon and Adolf Hitler—the latter referred to as “Hister” in his texts; both interpreted to be the first two of three antichrists he foresaw—the world wars, September 11, 2001 terror attacks and destruction of the World Trade Center. A recent analysis of several of Nostradamus’ quatrains has many now believing that the legendary prophet has also indeed predicted billionaire-turned-realty TV personality-turned-U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump’s stunning clenching of the 2016 presidential election—as well as its apocalyptic aftermath.

Members of both the House and Senate struck down President Obama’s veto of a bill that would permit family members of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia. The overwhelming bi-partisan support for still-grieving families served as a humiliating rebuke for both Obama and Saudi Arabia, America’s closest ally in the Middle East, which has recently come under increased scrutiny despite an entrenched alliance that deepened after 9/11.
