NATIONAL NAVAL AVIATION MUSEUM September 11th Remembrance Ceremony - Fri 9am, National Naval Aviation Museum, Naval Air Station Pensacola
The National Naval Aviation Museum will host the Gulf Coast’s largest regional remembrance ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The ceremony will feature keynote remarks from retired Vice Adm. John B. Totushek, a Pentagon survivor who was less than 100 feet from the impact site and went on to play a key role in the Navy’s mobilization of more than 10,000 reservists in the aftermath of the attacks. Also speaking will be retired Cmdr. Steve Scheibner, an American Airlines captain who was originally scheduled to serve as first officer aboard American Airlines Flight 11. Scheibner was bumped from the flight the day before. CLICK HERE
COME FROM AWAY- Thurs/Fri/Sat 7:30pm; Sun 2:30pm, (Sept 10-20), Chickasaw Civic Theatre
Moments after the terrifying September 11 attacks, U.S. air space was closed, but flights headed here didn’t have enough fuel to return home safely. Some 7,000 passengers and crew members were stranded in Gander, Newfoundland — a tiny town that opened its arms to the folks who had no other place to go. Come From Away tells the remarkable true stories of some of those passengers and townspeople. CLICK HERE
