Second Life Commemorates 9-11

10 years ago September 11th there was a series of four coordinated suicide attacks against targets in New York City and the Washington, D.C. area. 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets intentionally crashing two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City; both towers collapsed within two hours. Hijackers crashed a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Another attempt was made but thwarted by passengers who cause that plan to crash into a field instead of its' intended target. Nearly 3,000 died in the attacks according to Wiki.

Second Life residents have set up several programs and memorials to remember:
