and now finally, confirmation from the pentagon. indeed, confirmation from the pentagon that its last strike of the 20 year africa moore was indeed everett, the 10 civilians of the 10 civilians perished in this in this attack. and the united states says it is, it is sorry that perhaps it'll pay compensation on a voluntary basis. nevertheless, they say that the intelligence was solid, that they deemed the threat to be imminent. we reported on the situation, then there was a lot of tension in cub bullet had been feared that there would be another attack on the airport. following the attack on the 26 of august, the claimed the lives of 13 america troops, as well as had more than a 100 other people, civilians, taliban fighters included. but it was suspected from, from the next day, the day on after the attack on the 30th of august when the united state pulled out that these may have been a mistake. that this may have been an aide worker with, with many children killed in this attack. because the grizzly photograph from the scene began emerging very quickly. nevertheless, what we've heard

we are member today, the lives lost at the pentagon. are looking at pictures outside the building were president biden and the first lady are set to lay a wreath moments from now. live at the pentagon as of the president before them from a president biden is making the rounds of just about all 9/11 memorial sites. >> that's right, we saw marine one landed here a few moments ago, carrying resident biden, his wife, jill and the vice president and her husband. they are being met by the chairman of the joint chief, general milley defense secretary quite often. this is the third stop for the president. what's notable is the president released a video message to the 9/11 families of survivors of those who were lost in the attacks last night. he's not spoken today and did not speak at any of the sites. he did like reefs at all sites. the message from other speakers, president bush speaking, one of unity and desire for unity we saw after 9/11 and one of the things president bush talked about was he believes the next attack would be a domestic t

the strike on the pentagon. in his previous service -- he didn't go to the safety of the bunker. he went to where the plane had struck the building. i heard a story the other day from one of the victims, a terrible burn victim. but he was desperate to go and rescue some of his colleagues. so he rushed to the epicenter of the strike. and as he rounded the corn kerr, he ran into a -- corner, he ran into a guy with a suit who said to him, these fumes are dangerous, you get out of here. and this guy colorfully told the guy in the suit what he was going to do and to get the hell out of his way. and the guy said to him, i'm the secretary of state, and i'm ordering you to get out of here. and that was don rumsfeld. he went to the heart of the fire. he passed this her at the age of 89. -- this summer. i'll never forget the heroism he showed that day. dana: bret baier, you knew secretary rumsfeld as well. your thoughts this morning. of course, you covered the pentagon in the years after the attack. >> yeah. you know, as

what has been the tone at the pentagon today?— the pentagon today? - the pentagon today? the tone has been pretty much the same that i the pentagon today? the tone has l been pretty much the same that you see every year here, they take this very seriously, they have that sunrise unfurling of the stars & stripes down the western facade, at the point where flight 77 hit. that point in the building is now a chapel, a memorial chapel for the tsa chapel, a memorial chapel for the 18a victims of that attack. you can go and see that if you come to washington as a tourist, you can take the pentagon tour and see the chapel and the point at which the plane hit the building. so they go through this every year and they remember what happened on that day and the people who were killed on that day and the horrendous uncertainty and fear. they spent the next three hours thinking there was at least two more planes heading for this building, they had to keep evacuating firefighters and people out after our because the control tower at reagan national was telling them

we go to the pentagon.d, jim, a while ago you went to shanksville, and that's becoming, as kamala harris said today and you said, sacred ground. you need to go visit shanksville as if you would go to valley forge in pennsylvania or gettysburg where lincoln gave the gettysburg address. the history of 9/11 is still with us even for young people who weren't born back then. >> doug, i just think about, you know, with regard to shanksville, if that plane had been successful in hitting the capitol just how devastating that would have been to the united states. there's just no question about it, how heroic those actions were on that day, and i think you're absolutely right in terms of how we reflected on 9/11 in thinking about not just the people in shanksville but obviously our heroes at ground zero, and our heroes who responded to what was a catastrophic event at the pentagon where we're seeing president biden and the first lady right now. just a remarkable moment to see president biden. he looks like he's leavi

what was, what has the mood been like at the pentagon today? i can tell you, i've been at the pentagon pretty much every day since we started to see the fall a couple and the mood has been very much the same. there's a tone of anger, of sadness, but anger. i think it probably catch like the best. this is a very solemn ceremony though. first time they had just come memorization. and the day that the u. s. wasn't currently wore it afghan instead. and so what you saw, excuse me, in this building is you saw the about how they needed the help of the taliban in order to continue that evacuation. this is what they saw as their enemy, and then they were relying on their goodwill to get their people out. and then even though they said they were going to get all americans out and all the africans that they promised safe harbor to, they didn't get those out either. we believe those could be tens of 1000. so there is a lot of questions about exactly how this, what so wrong, how the intelligence was so wrong. and it doesn't look right now like it's for new

not necessarily here at the pentagon, but in the, at the f. b, i homeland security at the white house and it is a growing concerned. let's remember january 6, there was an insurrection at the united states capital, and that is what a lot of people, especially people have power start as they look for 20 years. everything the u. s. federal government isn't focused on word threats. and in many ways, during the bush administration, officials are told not to focus about on domestic threats. so now that it seems to be changing, people are saying the biggest enemy is coming from within. let's not forget, there is another rally plan to the capital to protest those who are arrested from january 6 insurrection. so a lot of it's going to take a lot of time because obviously the federal government is a huge, huge, huge organization. but there is now growing focus, the threat the us really faces comes within, not necessarily from without. and at this moment of division calls the unity to call him therefore, outside the pentagon. thanks so much patty. like

has hit the side of the pentagon, and that's how i found out that the plane hit the building. the building is so big that i didn't feel it. i didn't feel the impact and then i went out to the scene and began reporting and that sort of how my day unfolded. but in many ways, that was the day that introduced me to sort of the what we call the post truth age . and as you mentioned, we boys had conspiracy theories of been around forever. and part of the reason that people believe conspiracy theories is their actual conspiracies. but this was my introduction in the days before you 2 days before twitter, the days before facebook into the how the internet could take some something innocuous and spin it into something very nefarious. to describe how it happened. well, we have a clinic in distortion by deliberate omission. i'm going to show the whole clip only several words of which deniers took out of context. to give you the impression that jamie was reporting the opposite of his description of an aircraft so exploded that only small pieces of the fuselage are recognizable and so on.

in washington, my wife and i woke up close to the pentagon. i went by there every day going to work. that morning, i'm not used to traffic, being from michigan, i look for every shortcut i could find and i happened across a bridge. that day, i figured out, there are a lot of ways you can connect, the parking lot was on my short pants i went through that morning on the way to a conference on 911, the phone call i was chairman of the telecommunications committee, we were pushing new technology that everyone in america could connect. i went to my office in raburn and scooted over to the hart building where i was to meet with a couple of senators. we talked about some things he had to do to convert broadcasters from analog to digital that would allow the student technology to work. we were standing up there with a couple of my colleagues as the word came through that a plane had hit the trade center buildings. i thought it might be a cessna, i could not imagine what happened. i stepped across the hall, to the senator's office, we went to the tv sc

here with me on set at the pentagon is helene cooper, pentagon correspondent for the "new york times" nbc news presidential historian. 24 hours before the ceremonies are set to begin, ron, what are you seeing and hearing? >> reporter: so many people have remarked how it's a beautiful day here, blue skies, a bit of fall in the air, just like it was 20 years ago and all of that is just fueling the memories, painful memories of what happened here and a short while, they'll open up this area, ground zero, the sacred place to the public, and they expect that thousands of people to come to pay their respects, of course family members who lost loved ones, first responders, people from abroad, people from all over the country to take part in what's going to be perhaps the largest gathering here ever. we'll have the traditional ceremony that begins at 8:46 tomorrow, with a moment of silence and then the reading of the names of those lost which will last for about four hours or so. today people are coming already and reflecting and here is some of what folks had to say on their thoughts on this

the day's final commemoration at the pentagon happened before sunset.er in chief, president biden laid a wreath after stops at the other to attack sites in new york city and shanksville, pennsylvania. >> and there's still one more washington bay ceremony to come house and senate leadership, both democrats and republicans. we'll meet together on the u.s. capitol steps on monday in remembrance of 9.11 live in washington. i'm jessi tenure, jesse, we know that you mentioned in your story. this is actually the first 9.11. >> anniversary since u.s. troops troops have been withdrawn from afghanistan are top officials talking about the importance of that moment in connection with today. >> there's a little bit of that mixed in it to the pentagon ceremony. but most of that focus was on the 13 service members who lost their lives. and it just those final days at that airport attack at an in kabul. and so they were saying that, you know, while there are a lot of different feelings right now. a lot of different emotions because of the withdrawal coinciding with thi

their pentagon, i couldn't believe it from the building the way i worked at. if i could see the smoke. and i couldn't believe that you're gone. this want to say, i love you, and we miss you. thank you so much. when you're listening to family members there, read out the names of their loved ones at the sight of ground 0, where the twin towers and the trade center one stood. well, if you are just joining us now on al jazeera, it is shortly after that teen g. m t. and we are listening in to alive memorial service from ground 0 in new york city, where we are mocking the 20th anniversary of the 911 attacks. we have a number of presidents, former and current in attendance. we don't expect to hear from them today, but as you can see, they are there to honor the people who are lost on that day. let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how that. kimberly, can you talk us through a little more of what to expect in the coming hours? i know the mood that has been very somber and set to continue really. yeah, the somber mood is expected to continue as we hear

in washington, my wife and i lived pretty close to the pentagon. i go by there everyday going to work. that particular morning, i am not used to traffic so i look for every shortcut i could find and i have to cross a bridge. that day, i figured out this was before all the different things you can connect with. i went to the pentagon parking lot, that was one of my shortcuts. i literally went through there that morning. on the way to a conference on 911, the phone calls. i was chairman of the telecommunications subcommittee. we were really pushing this new technology that everyone in america could connect. i walked into my office and i scooted over to the building where would be with a couple of senators. talked about some of the things we had to do to convert broadcasters from analog to digital that would allow this new technology to really work. we were standing up there with a couple of my colleagues. a plane had hit one of the trade center buildings. first, i thought it must've been a cessna. i could not have imagined what happened. i stepped ac

and night. roberto haines at the pentagon just outside washington d. c. she's joining us live from there. this is perhaps made even more poignant, of course, for the staff of the pentagon. given the fact that it comes just days after the american military pull out from down this time, that's exactly right. this is the very 1st time they've commemorated the september 11th attack here at the pentagon when they weren't a war in afghanistan and of get us. dan was very much part of this event. we heard from the chairman the joint chiefs of staff who talked about americans, america's enemies, past and present. and he said he compared the taliban lumped them in without an iso and nazis and communist. so obviously very different tone from the pentagon when they were trying to evacuate americans, they obviously needed the help of the taliban to in fact do that. so that was very pointed reference. we also heard from the secretary of defense, and this is something that we've heard repeatedly since the if get us and pull up. they are concerned about the mental health

boger was in that control tower for the pentagon's helio pad. what did it sound like?ne sawing metal. >> an explosion, like a bomb. and when i opened my eyes, there was a fireball just passing right beside me. >> reporter: it was sheila moody's first day at the pentagon and her office was on the outer ring of the building, directly in the path of the plane. this is that room today. >> totally different cubicles? >> yes, totally different. looking around, and then coming to the realization, i'm trapped. am i going to die? i'm going to die here? >> reporter: of the 46 people in her office, she was one of only three to survive. >> i remember praying like, "god, i don't believe you brought me here for me to die like this." and that's when i heard the fire extinguisher. >> reporter: first responders were making their way into the will building. >> all my breath was gone and i'm doubled over and i'm coughing. there was movement and i reached out through the smoke and there was a hand on the other side of the smoke and he just grabbed me and pulled me through. hey, you! >> re

the pentagon. and then, the final crash just minutes later about 80 miles southeast of pittsburgh, 266 people on the four airplanes alone all presumed to be dead. at the world trade center, even nine more than nine hours after this disaster began, officials do not know how many people were killed, how many still are trapped in all the rubble. we do know that on most days there would be at least 20,000 people at work in the world trade center at the time the airliners crashed into the twin towers, another 90,000 could be expected in the vicinity of those towers in the course of an average workday. of course, scores of police, fire fighters and other emergency personnel were in the area when the buildings came down. we're gonna get the view now from the white house and our correspondent there campbell brown, also from the pentagon and from -- and i am joined now by david bloom who's been my colleague all along. david, bring us up to date. >> more than nine and a half hour since the first attack, the

(202) 748-8001 for those of you in the mountain and pacific time zones. internationally, (202) 748-8002. we would love to hear your perspective as well. finally, if you want to send a text message with your story about 20 years ago, (202) 748-8003. please include your first name and city. back to your calls. stephanie in milwaukee, good morning to you. caller: good morning. i had a little different experience. i had traveled the day before and was sleeping in, and my mother called and woke me up. i was

twenty years ago began as a temperature typical morning -- as a typical morning for pentagon employees uniform and our civilian colleagues settled into the rhythms of a normal tuesday morning with a near-cloudless sky, temperatures in the low 60s, and it promised to be a beautiful day. the passengers and crew of american airlines flight 77 were a little over an hour into their flight from dulles to l.a.; fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. all that changed at 9:37 a.m. as the innocent were caught in the crossfire of terror. the ideology of hatred unfolded on this very ground. in seconds, scores of lives were lost. 184 men, women and children were slaughtered in the violent impact and fury. 59 passengers and crew, 125 of our pentagon colleagues and the innocent ranged in age from 3 to 71 years old. those who perished here were among the 2,977 killed on that day here, in new york and in pennsylvania. not for what they did, but for what they believed and what they represented. not for anything they did, but rather, for who they were. the people we los

capitol or the white house and if you think of flight 77 hitting the pentagon actually it hit the pentagon through 3 rings of the five-ring pentagon but it was on a section that was being renovated and there were large office that is were empty on that section. people did die but many, many more could have. you think about what could have been and what happened and where we go next. john: also worth pointing out that the flights that were hijacked were very lightly loaded, now, that's no consolation to the people whose loved ones were on board those planes but to have, for instance, on flight 77 40 people on board a 757, that's a very light load, indeed. you have been to afghanistan many times as a result of what happened on that day and obviously as a result of the launching of the war there. give us your thoughts on that, bret. >> well, i think you can't look at this day without looking at what has transpired in afghanistan over the last couple of weeks and on this day the taliban celebrating inauguration of the new taliban government. i think there's a lot of concerns in the intelligenc

a 125 of our pentagon colleagues. and the innocent range in age from 3 to 71 years old. those who perished here were among the 2977 killed on that day here in new york and pennsylvania not for what they did, what they believed. and what they represented, not for anything they did, but rather who they were. the people were lost that day and not just name the numbers. remember them today for not only who they were, but what they could have become, they were replaceable to their families. instrumental and their jobs woven into the fabric of their communities full of life and potential lives. cut short pain that can never be properly described in words. suffering that will never fully heal. no words that i nor anyone else will ever say that can fill the gaping home. but we the living. we have a solemn duty to honor their memory, their legacy daughter. remember them not just today, but every day. the her, if it acts of terrorism on that day, were meant to disrupt our way of life and destroy the idea that america, that idea is simple. it incredibly powerful. the idea that terr

that the pentagon still grappling with the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan, the focus was on the victims and the day that started at all the countries longest war now over perhaps. but america still vowing never to forget. september 11th, 2001. kristen salumi al jazeera new york, a memorial aus also been held at the pentagon, where a plane crashed into the west side of the complex president joe biden, and the vice president, pamela harris, attended a ceremony to honor those killed. 184 people died when american airlines flight 77 hit the headquarters of the department of defense. earlier in the day, a u. s. flight was unfurled and draped over the pentagon. during a common ration ceremony, secretary of defense lloyd often gave an address honoring those who died in the attack as well as u. s. service members. and former president george w bush joined families of victims in shanks, phil, pennsylvania, we're flight united. 93 crushed 20 years ago. alan fisher was there. i mean, very few people would have ever had the shank spill th

so, the benches that point away from the pentagon are actually the people that died in the pentagon,u come up to their name at the end of the bench, you see the pentagon in the background and then it's reversed for somebody on the plane. you walk up to the bench, you see the name of the person, you'll see the sky in the background and age lines are oriented from the youngest to the oldest. soledad: there's something very unnerving about seeing those benches down there that are the ones of the little children. jim: right. there's a gap, if you will, between the children's benches who died on the plane. and then it picks up with working age adults. probably 21. 22. and you realize that's another powerful feature of it. oh, my god. those were those were kids, three-year-old, eight-year-old and three kids in a d.c. school trip with their teachers to california. soledad: what are you hoping that visitors who come here take away from their experience? jim: i have been thinking about everything that has happened the past 20 years, since we rededicated the memorial. i think family members al

the pentagon had just been hit. two planes hit new york.he plane hits the pentagon as we arrive to air force one. we get on the plane and the president wants to go back to washington, d.c. he did something that nobody asked him to do, which i thought was very smart. he said, get president putin on the phone, make sure he doesn't think we are going to war with russia. he should know what's going on. he was cool, calm, collected. he was eager to get back to washington, d.c., i kept saying when it's right, we'll get there. i know we'll get there. he made sure he had the communication tools to get the job done. i was impressed how he reacted. there were great trepidation. were there other attacks coming, flight 93, you know what happened to that. the first arrows on the war on terror the civilians on flight 93 every won u one would have been won pa medal of honor. >> andy card, it's an honor to have you recollecting all this, such incredible memories you are sharing with our viewers. thank you so much and your service to the president during th

part of the pentagon collapsed.0:53, donald rumsfeld ordered military to increase death conradyness and prepare for war. a war has not ended even though politicians say it has according to many of the families of survivors who you can feel their pain today when they were at the ceremony. we spoke to many of them. arthel. arthel: of course, jennifer griffin live at the pentagon, eric. eric: arthel, the u.s. did have an opportunity to try and nail osama bin laden before septembea leader became the most wanted man in the globe. nearly 10 years after he struck a may second, 2011 seal team finally found and killed him. in the concrete in pakistan. the hunt to find him a testament to the dedication of our intelligence agencies and bravery of our armed forces for an inside look at the raid chris wallace joins us. he, of course, is a fox news anchor and author of new book, countdown bin laden which chronicles the month leading to the daring raid that killed bin laden. chris, it's been very emotional and poignant day in shan

had taken with him an intern in the pentagon, and they rushed back to the pentagon after the attack. 20 years later, that army captain would become major general chris donahue, commander of the 82nd airborne, last service member on the ground in afghanistan a few days ago. >> oren lieberman, thanks so much. appreciate that. >>> just ahead of this day, 9/11, president biden said he would make appearances at all of the three terror sites. the president still in pennsylvania as we understand. arlette saenz is at the white house for us. arlette, tell us more. all right. looks like the president is still in the shanksville area of pennsylvania and is expected to make his way to the pentagon as well. arlette saenz is with us now. arlette? >> reporter: hi, fred. president biden was visiting the site at shanksville, pennsylvania, laying a wreath as he paid tribute. one of the three stops the president will be making over the course of the day today to commemorate the attacks of september 11, 2001. the president started his day a bit earlier in new york city at ground zero, accompanied by for

every single person that survived the pentagon was pulled from the pentagon and the first 30 minutes. and so, but for sort of the work of the military officers sort of rushing right into that building, the death toll that day would have been much higher. and this becomes sort of a story, again, that you would see played out in lots of different ways. a quadriplegic working on the 64th floor of the north tower with the port authority, 12 of his colleagues that day -- not all of whom he actually knew -- came up to carry him down all 64 floors to escape the tower, and he survives that day because they did it because they made clear to him that he wasn't going to be left behind. and of course they didn't fully understand at that point that they were rescuing their own lives, because not everyone really believed, most people didn't understand that the towers could actually collapse. we had been through this in 1993 with the first bombing and people sort of thought this was going to be the same thing. it would involved in evacuation and the firefighters thought it might even take a couple d

ocasio-cortez: i offer amendment 40 to reduce the pentagon by 40%. when covid-19 and fallout is one of the greatest threats we face when record levels of unemployment, housing and health care crises are among us, the united states should be reducing its spending by 5% and prioritize the very needs of our communities at home. today, we can cut the defense authorize ace by 10% without any need to deny our servicemembers or families. we can free up to $77 billion to go towards fighting the covid-19 pandemic and much more. mr. speaker, i urge support of this amendment and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from new york reserves the balance of her time, for what purpose does gentleman seek recognition? >> i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise in opposition to the bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized >> this amendment would strip $79 billion out of the bill. that would have catastropheic effects. we have been at war for two decades and orpb out everything we've got. we have to start replacing and moderniz

so lots of questions being asked here at the pentagon of what was it, or why? what was the goal of the war in afghanistan? and wasn't, in fact a failure was probably was saying the 911 attacks led to that 20 year warden. i've got a son as us forces in the realize such a target death as well as the taliban, which was accused of harbouring them. tens of thousands of afghans were killed and many lives were turned upside down. charles traffic reports from couple on people's hopes for the future. in cell ghouls, homes was destroyed during fighting between us led forces in the tolerable 40 years ago. his brother, one of his songs, was killed. he and his family have lived in this camp for internally displaced people in cobbled ever since he blames united states and its allies for the pain. they've been jordan with dish shallow colored young adults in the past 20 years. we've suffered so much that at times with hardly been able to eat for days. all africans have been through terrible hardships, not bombardments, fighting our health and destroyed the war last, not so lo

this our, the pentagon has admitted the drug store. i can car bill last month, did indeed kill 10 civilians including 7 children. let's get some more information on this. now, from our correspondent who's been basing cobble for the last few weeks to get in situ, the for, as mirage was this admission expected from the pentagon, it was expected, i can't say it was expected so quickly. usually the united states takes a while. it's military to, as it says, as a claims investigate such cases, such collateral damage as they call it. but in this case, it has been very quick and perhaps because of media pressure, because it, the deed was speculated on very early that these may have been an errand. ash dr. jerome strike that it may have targeted civilians due to the large number of children that were killed, 7 of them and that emerged within hours of the bombing when, when these grizzly photos emerged on the internet. nevertheless, what the pedagogue says now is the v. a worker who was struck, his vehicle was tracked for a number for several ho

the pentagon has admitted drones, trunk, and have gone astounded the end of august for the tragic mistake that co 10 civilians including 7 children. washington had previously claim to try and have been necessary to prevent an attack on american troops. us officials say no disciplinary action regarding the deadly talk is expected, and they stand by the intelligence that lead to strike. they do say, however, that lessons wilbur learned from this tragic accident. as the secretary says, in the statement we, we apologize and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake. and to that end, he has directed a thorough review of the investigation just completed by us central command. meanwhile, the panther going has announced that they all can say true reparation for those who lost family members. i think that it will depend on the ability to reach out to people on the ground. ministry officials also trans. however, the, despite the deadly mistake is to any control conclusions. i don't think you should draw any conclusions about our ability to strike enough can ascend against isis. j target'

i started at the pentagon and walked from the pentagon to shanksville, pennsylvania.we can never forget the sacrifice they made and i wanted to say thank you to my little brother, who has inspired his older siblings to do good in his memory. >> that last mile going through the tunnel, what was going through your mind? >> i'm going to tell you what was going through my mind, most everything. i remember the day my brother was born. he's 14 years younger than me. i remember my father coming to my school, i was in the eighth grade, and he said, frank, you have a new brother and tears were coming down his face. and then i remember after my parents died, when he was a little boy and he was orphaned at the age of ten and he grew up to be this dynamic human being, a firefighter. loved the brotherhood of a firefighter. strong person. wanted to do something for people and serve people, and he made the ultimate sacrifice. i couldn't be more proud to be steven's older brother. >> we are finding that opportunity today to find solace in all the heroes like your brother who ran towa

the pentagon says there will be no disciplinary measures going. going into the future, but they will investigate further this particular job. so i can try to learn each lesson. they say they will be more careful with the, with future drone strikes. but that is not to say that they will, that they will stop targeting isis here, and i've got a sub they, they, they made that point. nevertheless, there is, there is still, you know, the, the fact that not a lot of accountability has been offered by the pentagon and is an issue that has the wrong republicans, as well as critics in the united states to say that while, you know, we have heard we have had all these hearings with the said with, with the congress that hasn't been anyone who's reside will be slide for many americans. he is a fiasco at capital airport. the, the last few days, few weeks of the evacuation here, the chaos that we saw a capital airport and the lack of planning that went along with it. after the so called defense of as try can cobble report soon emerged that a number of members of

this morning we also, of course, remember the 184 lives lost at the pentagon. abc's chief global affairs right there with a look back at what happened at the pentagon and the security concerns we are still facing on this day. martha, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. they unfurled a flag here just a short time ago on the side of the building that was struck by flight 77, 184 people died, 64 of them were on that airplane. that flag this morning, a reminder of 20 years ago when they unfurled the flag over the side of the building when it had a huge gash in the side of the building. also have to say, dan, one of the things i think about morning is that the people who went back to work immediately, back to work in this building, in fact, some of them never left. they were in operation centers here, they had to keep working and not only were they working to try to keep us safe, but they were, of course, planning a war that this is is the very first time that we have not had troops in afghanistan since we started commemorating september 11th, the d

the pentagon spokesman said he does not know the answer.h somebody come up and watch? what happens to that person? what is that person quote? today go back to afghanistan? what happens to them? can we deport them? >> it hard to deport someone when they have nory country to o back to the afghan people are no longer in charge oflo the government but if a third country is willing to accept them. however if there is empathize of a terrorist organization, one countryti accept them? we may be stuck with them. important to fully affect them before they step foot in american soil. liz: the fbi warned the are recently seen people with security concerns and they are flying people into the u.s. before they complete their visa processing. your final word on this? >> the american people, there's noco proof of the sarah southwet border, that's a lie. at least 100 in the last five years either in the panama region were arrested on the southern border. how many of the 300,000 got a ways he came to this country to do us harm? we don't know now but we may kn

we went to the pentagon shortly -- i think were at the pentagon the very next day but we did as much on-site review and made the effort in the most sincere heartfelt way to express our profound sympathy to all of those who have lost lives. >> ten years later, how do you reflect on what this country and the world went through? >> i reflect in several ways. first, it was a transformational moment. transformational in profound ways and small ways. i think it probably let us to wars interchange in a way we conduct our lives from how we get on airplanes to how we communicate and level of scrutiny involved with communication today. i probably change the perception of the united states around the world. initially i think there was tremendous sympathy for the united states. i think in part because of actions chose to take including go to work. a lot of that is sympathy dissipated. i think there is a profound admiration and respect for all of those people who put their lives on the line for the rescue operation that certainly was very evident from the very first day. i have respect for and gr

i did not keep the pentagon from being hit. so, the experience of the moment, and did we actually change the course of events, are two different things. so how you resolve those, i don't know that you really do. a couple weeks later, when we had gotten into the routine of the air patrols and whatnot, our ops group commander, jeff johnson who is now a commander, a tremendous, tremendous man, had gone to the pentagon for some briefings with the d.c. guard had done. it was really unprecedented from september 11, from 911 to the next three weeks, the d.c. international guard owned and controlled the cap the combat air patrol. so when fighters flew in from langley or anywhere else, we actually own and where the cap commanders. we would then commit fighters in the cap to go intercept or investigate if somebody else came in. which was a very unusual control structure. so he had gone to the pentagon as part of the lessons learned and the hot wash. if you remember at the time how could this happen? there was intense analysis and study w

we watched just moments ago as the pentagon unfurled the american flag over the west side of the pentagon, a tribute to those lives that were taken there. 20 years have passed since terrorists hijacked planes crashing two of them into the twin towers of the world trade center and one of them into the pentagon. >> passengers on a fourth flight fought back forcing them to crash into a field in pennsylvania. it was only a 20 minute flight to get to d.c. president biden will pay his respects at those three sites. yesterday he released a message to the nation recognizing the people that died and the people who are left without them. >> but it's so hard whether it's the first year or the 20th. children have grown up without parents. parents have suffered without children. husbands and wives have had to find ways forward without their partners in their lives. brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, loved ones have celebrated birthdays with holes in their heart. no matter how much time passes, these commemorations bring everything painfully back as if you got the news seconds ago. >> cnn's laura
