Available for over a year

A former New York resident with family links to Sligo and Mayo was a volunteer rescue worker who assisted at the scene of the 9/11 attack in New York, which occurred 25 years ago. Almost three-thousand people were killed when hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Centres in New York City and into the Pentagon in Virginia. Another plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers fought back.It's a quarter of a century on from 9/11, and its impact is still being felt.
