I finally got the courage to listen to them and I cried all the way through. We can never forget . This horrific act is a prime example of what ISLAM terrorists can do and why we must never be caught up in a Muslim agenda for we will become no more than slaves.

I agree, they are heart breaking. I have listened to all of them but cannot do it all at one sitting, they are way too sad. They always make me tear up. Obama is betraying all of America and the memory or these terror victims.

These phone calls are heart breaking. This is who Obama is betraying the memory of with this Iran deal.

You're welcome DD. I agree he is working overtime to help the terrorists all he can then he tries to fool all of us that he cares about 9-11. Typical Obama, he is a pathological liar IMHO.

Thanks for posting this. I see Obama pretending to care on TV about 9-11 right after he is has done everything he could to give all to the terrorists and destroy us and Israel . What sickening sight. Pretend on you traitor you are fooling no one but your stupid followers.

The faces of 9/11

IT WAS unquestionably the most terrible day of our age. September 11, 2001.

Almost 3000 innocent people died when terrorists hijacked four civilian planes. Two of the planes struck the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center. One nosedived into the Pentagon in Washington. And one crashed into a field in Pennsylvania thanks to the brave efforts of passengers who stormed the cockpit.

The story behind the most powerful image of 9/11: the Falling Man

As Americans begin their day of mourning, we've compiled 30 images to remind you why this day was so momentous.

There are many shots from different angles of the planes striking the towers, but one reason there are not thousands of different images is that iPhones had not yet been invented and many phones had no cameras. Source: Supplied

Here's one for the conspiracy nutters who claim the building was bombed and that there were never any planes. Clue: bombs don't make plane-shaped holes. Source: Supplied

One of the most horrific and enduring 9/11 images was the people trapped in the upper levels of the twin towers. Many jumped. Some held hands while they did so. At least two hundred people are believed to have taken the fateful plunge. Source: Supplied

This picture taken by Associated Press photographer Richard drew was deemed too controversial by most newspaper editors. "The Falling Man" became the subject of a documentary, but the identity of the man plummeting to his death is still disputed. Some families refuse to believe it could be their relative for religious reasons, even though no 9/11 victim has been classified as dying by suicide. Source: AP

Strangers became friends as they fled the horror together. Many remain close to this day, including countless office workers who helped each other out of the twin towers. Source: Supplied

This was a day of mourning for all Americans, whether they knew a victim or not. Source: AP

There were also 125 victims at the Pentagon in Washington — 70 civilian and 55 military personnel. Source: Supplied

There is something about this man's dust-covered suit and general demeanour which makes this an unforgettable image. Source: Supplied

The force of the world's highest towers collapsing reduced buildings to ash which coated survivors in a ghoulish cloak. Source: Supplied

Many men hugged on a day when over 400 emergency workers were killed. Source: Supplied

Not much left: this would not be one of those searches where victims emerged for days to come Source: Supplied

Fire soon spread to many nearby buildings Source: Supplied

And sometimes the heroes needed a little attention themselves. Source: Supplied

People had no idea if the dust cloud would kill them, hence the terror. Source: Supplied

No, this is not a still from the latest blockbuster disaster movie. It's yet another 9/11 hero carrying yet another survivor to safety. Source: AP

While for some, words just couldn't describe the horror. Source: Supplied

The North tower was hit first and collapsed second, possibly because it was hit higher. Source: AP

Engineers say that the World Trade Centers had an unusual design, where much of the structural load was carried by the exterior shell of the building rather than central columns. So when that shell was pierced, the buildings were weakened significantly, precipitating their collapse. Source: AFP
