2. from history.com's This Day in History: "At 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. As the evacuation of the tower and its twin got underway, television cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident. Then, 18 minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767—United Airlines Flight 175—appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center, and sliced into the south tower at about the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below. America was under attack."

3. A candlelight vigil in remembrance of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, will be held at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at McAvoy's, 2531 Putty Hill Ave. For more information, check out this calendar listing.

5. Eight Oak Crest residents used their love of sewing to play a part in local history, according to this Parkville-Overlea Patch post by Jeff Getek. The group helped make a 30-foot by 42-foot replica of the original American flag, made by Mary Pickersgill, that flew over Fort McHenry.

The replica will be unfurled for the first time this weekend at the Defenders Day celebration at Fort McHenry.
