Nearly 3,000 people died in New York City, Washington, D.C. and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
To commemorate the day, several West Virginia Public Broadcasting staffers contributed to this audio postcard. We’ll hear from Annie Thompson, Bill Lynch, Emily Rice, Kristi Morey, Curtis Tate, Eric Douglas, Caroline MacGregor, Chris Schulz, Maggie Holley and Chris Barnhart.
Also, in this show, alumni of West Virginia University rallied in Morgantown Saturday in support of faculty and students. Chris Schulz has more.
