Remembering Colleagues Lost on 9-11-2001

September 11, 2021

On the 20th anniversary of terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and the failed attack that ended in Western Pennsylvania, the Society of Broadcast Engineers wishes to remember all who lost their lives on that fateful day. We especially wish to remember the six broadcast engineers and technicians who died. All six were working at the highest floors of the World Trade Center at the time of the attack.
