At Logan Airport in Boston, U.S. flags fly at Gates B32 and C19, from which two flights departed on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Shortly after takeoff, both aircraft were hijacked, and then flown into the World Trade Center. The flags were installed in the days after 9/11 in honor of those on American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 who were lost that day, two of the four aircraft involved in the 9/11 attacks.
Today, 25 years later, please take a moment to consider the impact of that day’s events, in which nearly 3,000 people perished and which continue to shape all of our lives right up the present day and beyond. The gates are now served by different airlines, but the flags still fly, a symbol of how the events of that day will always be with us, as will the memory of those lost.
At the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire, we ask for remembrance of the many people lost on 9/11 with ties to the Granite State, including members of the flight crews of both flights that originated in Boston. One of most complete compendiums of these individuals that we’re aware of is the one compiled by our friends at WMUR-TV Channel 9 in Manchester; please visit this link to view the roster.
