This was e-mailed to me at work:
2,974 people, almost 9x's the number of MBT employees, were lost 8 years ago today in New York, Arlington and Shanksville. Many have transitioned this day from a day of mourning to a day of service, to commemorate and pay tribute to those who perished. Whatever it is we do, would a moment of silence at 8:46 be asking too much?
