It was arguably the darkest day in American history, and it happened 25 years ago today. 2,977 people were killed when terrorists hijacked four planes; two of them were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, one was flown into the Pentagon, and the other crashed in a remote field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers who got word of the other three hijackings overpowered the terrorists.

Trey Williams is the spokesman for Louisiana Secretary of State Nancy Landry; but on September 11th, 2001, Williams was working at the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington, DC. He was in his office building as American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon nearby and while United Airlines Flight 93 was still in the air.

Cut 10 (11) “…towards the Capitol.”
There will be remembrances at all of the crash sites today to remember the lives that were lost.

There’s been a major break in the case of two missing south Louisiana women. West Feliciana Parish Sheriff Brian Spillman says his deputies along with other agencies have begun searching a rural residential piece of property that belongs to 43-year-old Thomas Morris, who was arrested in July on an unrelated kidnapping case.

Cut 7 (10) “…including human remains.”

A Missouri-based company is planning on putting up a data center in a community about eight miles north of Lake Charles, and the people who live there aren’t happy about it. Representative Brett Geymann (GUY-min), whose district includes Moss Bluff, says that’s because Moss Bluff was planned strictly as a residential community.

Cut 5 (05) “…Moss Bluff Community.”
We have reached out to the president of Azimuth Renewals, which signed an option back in April to buy about 12-hundred the land where the proposed data center would go. So far, we have not heard back.
