9/11 Memorial with artifacts from the World Trade Center
to be constructed in the Mariposa County Arts Park

9/11 Memorial On September 11th, 2001 the World Trade Center
North Tower was stuck at 08:46 A.M., the
South Tower was hit at 09:03 A.M., seventeen minutes apart.
At that moment, America braced itself for coming events and
turned a full 360 degree circle, from a Nation at peace.
              The remaining circumference of
                 that circle, less those 17 minutes
                      is 343, the number of NYFD
                           personnel, whom by duty made
                                 the ultimate sacrifice, so that
                                       others may have survived. 
                                                                  Dennis Buck, Bux Manufacturing and Welding

9/11 MemorialEarly on the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen hijackers took control of four commercial airliners en route to San Francisco and Los Angeles from Boston, Newark, and Washington, D.C. Planes with long flights were intentionally selected for hijacking because they would be heavily fueled. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower, followed by United Airlines Flight 175, which hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m.

Another group of hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. A fourth flight, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. local time after the passengers on board engaged in a fight with the hijackers. Its ultimate target is believed to have been either the Capitol or the White House.

Nearly 3,000 victims and the 19 hijackers died in the attacks. Among the 2,753 victims who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center were 343 firefighters and 60 police officers from New York City and the Port Authority, and 8 private emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Another 184 people were killed in the attack on the Pentagon. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries.

Arts License PlateCalifornia Arts Council Announces Arts License Plate Fees Are Charitable Deductions! A recent clarification is especially helpful for businesses and residents looking to support arts statewide. Sales & renewals of the Arts Plate account for over 60% of the CAC’s budget. Currently the state's per capita investment in the arts is around 10 cents per person even with the Arts Plate funds, putting California in last place compared to other states in the nation.

California Arts License Plate fees are charitable deductions to the State of California for tax purposes, according to the Franchise Tax Board. For more information about the California Arts License Plate, contact the California Arts Council's Communication Director Mary Beth Barber at (916) 322-6588, or mbarber@cac.ca.gov.
