"The roar in the stadium was something I have never experienced. It was unbelievable." On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we're revisiting Nebraska's special Tunnel Walk, which honored local first responders, just days after the attacks.

On this night, 25 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 fire fighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for their morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00am on Sept 11th 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today, and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, Kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

🕊 The missing Twin Towers returned to New York for a few minutes A light show was held on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The drones first rose into the night sky in a spiral, then formed the outlines of the destroyed World Trade Center towers. The installation used 2,977 drones — one for each person killed in the attacks.

Crashes, injuries & complaints involving e-bikes, scooters & minibikes are up. Parents, talk with your kids about helmets, speed, theft & rules of the road - especially illegal riding on streets, sidewalks and trails. @CityOfLincoln @LNKFireRescue @LnkParksRec @LPSorg @LTULNK

I could quite fit all of the Rotary crowd into the picture to hear Polly talk about her time on the show Extracted.

Interesting nugget from today's @HuskerVB beach volleyball matches. They beat @WSCWildcatVB 4-1... but that also means @MattieKamery and Reese Johnson can say they have a 3-set win over two Nebraska stars in Laney Choboy and Skyler Pierce.
