Remembering that morning in September
[ad_1]
It’s 24 years since that morning in September when a collective America watched in disbelief as within two hours two hijacked passenger planes took down New York City’s two 110-story world trade towers.
By noon, two more hijacked planes went down, first, slamming into the Pentagon headquarters, followed by the forced crash of a fourth plane found incinerated in a field in Pennsylvania, its passengers having perished fighting the hijackers to avert them from their intended target thought to be the Capitol Building.

Salem Harbor boater suffers head injury
[ad_1]
The Salem Harbormaster’s office reported Sunday that a man suffered a head injury after he was ejected from one boat and struck by another.
The man, who was in and out of consciousness after being struck, was transported to the Harbormaster’s Winter Island Road location about 7:30 p.m. to be treated by first responders.
A med flight helicopter was requested to transport the injured man from Salem Willows Park to a hospital. However, the Harbormaster official didn’t disclose whether the victim was subsequently relocated.
It’s unclear whether the man was a passenger or the operator of the boat. A Harbormaster’s Office official also didn’t disclose how the man was ejected from the boat or the size of the boat.
In May, 65-year-old Gloucester resident John Masiz died while boating through Salem Harbor.
The fatality occurred within Salem Sound, where a boat was reported to be crashed on the rocks off Misery Island just after 5 p.m. on a Saturday. A multi-agency search located Masiz’s body separate from the boat, several hours later, at 10:15 p.m., officials said.
The Essex County District Attorney’s Office said in May the incident was under investigation pending autopsy results from the state medical examiner’s office.
Salem Harbor is a mixture of commercial and recreational vessels with more than 1,600 permitted recreational boats in Salem waters, according to the Harbormaster’s website.
