now it's time for the last word, ali velshi in tonight. >> that story you had about the flight leaving from kabul, i think especially in this week where we're going to be marking the anniversary of 9/11, we remember that flight crews, the pilots and the people on those planes exist for passenger safety, not to, you know, give you things on the plane. that's bravery. taking those flights in and out of kabul with those taliban flags and taliban on the tarmac. i mean, that's never going to be normal. it shouldn't be normal. but to be able to, you know, to be on that plane, land it, get passengers off, put passengers on and take off, a thought for all of those pilots and copilots and flight attendants and everybody on those planes who are helping people get to freedom tonight. so thank you for telling us about that. >> exactly. and you have to believe that this has got to be volunteers. you couldn't put somebody in this circumstance, and tell them it's part of their job. these are people that must have volunteered for this, despite those dangers in this absolutely unprecedented and intense

i'm stephanie ruhle. >> and i'm ali velshi.erity, to our national security, and to our standing in the world. >> today the nation is in mourning as we commemorate one of the darkest days in american history. 20 years ago life as we knew it came to a halt. the terrorist attacks of september 11th claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people and left the entire country reeling. two hijacked commercial planes, night 11 and 75 crashed into the twin towers in new york city. ultimately causing a symbol of america's financial power to collapse into a billowing cloud of debris and smoke. >> hijackers crashed a third plane, american airlines flight 77, into the pentagon, tearing a hole into the headquarters of our nation's military. the faa would soon ground all flights in an attempt to figure out which planes were compromised. then a fourth plane, united airlines flight 93, crashed into an open field in shanksville, pennsylvania. it was diverted from its original target in washington, after a struggle between a team of hijackers and the fli

this is why we have to have these conversations, my colleague allie velshi talked about this in the last at renewable energy. the new orleans plant would be able to keep powering through hot summer days and storms. however, all eight of their transmissions in new orleans failed. what happened here? >> well, what happened here is a failure to plan for the century we're in, a failure to plan for climate change and the storms that are coming faster and harder, and a failure to listen to the communities who want not just the same old systems that are clearly not set up for this, that we've been depending on for the last century. instead, what communities have been saying is we want solar. we want solar and storage. we want microgrids and energy efficiency because we know that the transmission systems that have been ignored by the utilities are not going to be able to weather these kinds of storms. so how do we keep people safe and healthy when these things fail? and the answer can't be backup diesel and gas generators because that's actually sending more people to the hospital and killing pe
