Passages...

I live in the little town of Lambertsville ... there was an airplane that crashed near Shanksville. Oh my, it's on fire ... and smoke. It's unbelievable!
-- 911 Call, Chapter 2

The State Troopers were posted along the roads, twenty-four-seven. People there got firewood for the Troopers to build fires to stay warm. They allowed them to use their bathrooms and gave them coffee and food. It was really a credit to Somerset County the way people helped.
-- Bill Baker, EMA, Chapter 3

Of the memorial service in Somerset on September 14, 2001: It was amazing ... you saw men in suits ... farmers in coveralls ... blacks and whites ... different socio-economic levels ... united at that one time. It was such a feeling of pain and sympathy and also being proud to be an American.
-- Bill Cowher, Head Coach, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chapter 5

Those who have wished to speak to the press usually first tell us about their loved one who died on the flight and then, without exception, talk about the local people who helped in the recovery ... One mother said the people here responded like a “Herd of Angels.”
-- Vicki Rock, Reporter, Chapter 12
