Remembering 9/11 on social media

We all remember where we were on that fateful day, September 11, 2001. It was a beautiful Tuesday morning 14 years ago that turned horrific when hijackers took control of four planes, flying two into the World Trade Center in New York City, a third flown to the seat of our military - the Pentagon. A fourth did not make it to it's Washington, D.C. target. Instead heroes on board Flight 93 took control of the doomed plane and it crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania. 
From those moments on, people didn't let their differences separate them, rather, they came together following the attacks as one, as one America and we were all Americans. 
Social media did not exist as it does now. As the country remembers, they're gathering on sites like Facebook and Twitter to pause and remember those lives that were lost on 9/11.
