Les Francais n'oublieront jamais

    A few pictures to remind myself and others that might tend Amerocentric that 9/11 is not just an American memory. One of the specific targets was the World Trade Center. Not to mention that civilian aviation worldwide would never be the same.

    I never came across these pictures; these sentiments.

    Thank you.

    You're welcome, Richard.

    I didn't post everything I came across, just the things that resonated with me.

    I'm going to add a few more that I've seen since, in a comment instead of this reply, so that I have the full width.

    In case you never saw a list, Wikipedia has a good chart of all the other countries that lost citizens in the attacks.

A decade after 9/11, the day that changed so much for so many people, the world's leaders and citizens paused to reflect Sunday. From Sydney to Spain, formal ceremonies paid tribute to the nearly 3,000 who perished from more than 90 countries. DS/AP.
