"A lot of British people were working for American companies," McManus said. "I don't think it matters what nationality, or where you originate from. As a human being you always got empathy for others. Our hearts went out to you guys."

"I remember days after too, how the country came together in ways that we rarely see these days," Spillman said. "I didn’t have a cell phone, so didn't realize what was happening until you got outside, and there were thousands of people gathered outside."

There are endless stories that we'll continue to share as we remember the thousands of lives lost. 23 years later, we'll never forget.
