On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, The Atlantic's Washington Week With The Atlantic gathered a panel of journalists to reflect on the tragedy that claimed nearly 3,000 lives. Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, emphasized that the lives lost should never be forgotten, stating "as far as I'm concerned, we can never talk about them enough."
Jonathan Lemire, a staff writer at The Atlantic and an intern at the New York Daily News on 9/11, recounted his harrowing experience. He described himself as an intern at The New York Daily News when he was sent to nearby hospitals upon learning of the attacks. "The most harrowing image from that day for me was you could look in the beds lined up, and they stayed empty," he said. "There weren't the survivors that people thought could be rushed and saved."
Panelists Ann Compton, Sally Jenkins, Graeme Wood, and Lemire joined Goldberg to discuss the far-reaching consequences of the terror attack and its impact on the nation's history.
