On the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four passenger airliners, crashing into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A total of 72 law enforcement officers perished on that tragic day.
After the impact of the first plane at the World Trade Center, the law enforcement community and fire and EMS personnel rushed to the site to assist with rescue and recovery. Years later, illnesses linked to the exposure to toxic materials following the terror attacks has led to more than 350 deaths from 9/11-related illnesses. Unfortunately, this number continues to rise yearly. Here are the names of the officers who perished on 9/11 that we remember every year.
