## Caption

On September 11, 2001, the FAA closed U.S. airspace in the first unplanned closure in U.S. history. In just a matter of hours, all commercial air traffic was grounded. This video shows the rapid grounding of air traffic across the U.S., and redirection of incoming international traffic. 

Today, we remember and honor the lives lost on that tragic day and the families affected. #September11 #September11th
