[00:00.01]Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life
[00:06.53]Our very freedom came under attack
[00:19.01]In a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts
[00:20.17]The victims were in airplanes, or in their offices
[00:24.19]Secretaries, businessmen and women
[00:24.99]Military and federal workers
[00:25.69]Mums and dads, friends and neighbours
[00:26.72]Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror
[00:33.33]The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings
[00:36.28]Fires burning, huge, huge structures collapsing
[00:40.45]Have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness
[00:45.24]And a quiet, unyielding anger
[00:49.20]These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat
