2001	09/11	US HISTORY	9/11 - WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACKED - COLLAPSES - 2001 Tuesday, September 11, 2001. New York City, Washington DC, Pennsylvania. @ 0846 Hrs - AA Flight 11 Boston to Los Angeles - Struck 110 story World Trade Center North Tower 1. Second to collapse at 1028 hrs. @ 0903 Hrs - United Flight 175 Boston to Los Angeles - Struck 110 Story WTC South Tower 2. Collapsed first at 0959 hrs. Response to the fires in both towers was the largest response in FDNY history. Some 200 people jumped to their own deaths rather than facing death by the fires. The fires and collapse of the two towers resulted in the deaths of some 2,606 people, including civilians and airplane passengers, 343 FDNY firefighters, EMTs, and police officers. Much of the FDNY command staff was killed as the towers fell. Surrounding buildings 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were heavily damaged by debris from the falling towers. @ 1721 Hrs - 47 Story WTC Tower 7, not struck by either airplane, and least damaged during the twin tower collapses, with fires on a several floors, collapsed hours later in an unprecedented, yet apparently anticipated sudden collapse. No apparent injures during this unusual, complete, and rapid fall of the 47 story sky scraper. @ 0937 Hrs - AA Flight 77 Washington Dulles to Los Angeles - Apparently struck the Pentagon in Washington DC. @ 1003 Hrs - United 93 Newark to San Francisco - In what appeared to be a passenger revolt against apparent hijackers, Flight 93 crashed into a field in Shanksville, PA. Flight 93 was possibly to be used against another target in Washington DC. The FAA pulled all aircraft out of the skies as these events were taking place in an effort to prevent any further attacks across the country. This was the worst attack on US soil since 12/07/41 Pearl Harbor.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the natives in the area periodically put fire to the woods, in a controlled manner that kept the underbrush to a minimum, reducing the danger of major forest fires.

18,000 Years ago, the ice retreated, leaving what would one day be known as Cape Cod. Chunks of ice would melt, creating the many kettle ponds around the Cape.

20,000 Years ago, what is now Cape Cod was totally covered by hundreds of feet of glacial ice, during the last ice age.
