It’s hard to believe that Sunday it will have been a decade. Ten years since four planes were sucessfully hijacked and used as weapons in a coordinated attack against the United States. Roughly 3,560 days since thousands lost their lives and families were left with only memories.  85,440 hours since our men and women were sent overseas to wage war on terrorism. Looking back at the death, destruction and disorder that ensued since that tragic day, we here at KTIV wondered, where are we now?  Needless to say, countless lives were impacted across the nation if not the globe, but what about here in Siouxland? During the next several days we’ll look at how 9/11/01 helped transform the lives of people right here in Siouxland. Clicking the above banner will take you to our website . There you can find out more about the stories we’ll be covering Friday, Saturday and Sunday. While you are here, share your thoughts us with us. Where were you that September morning? How has your life changed? Lastly, where do we go from here? We may feature your comments on an upcoming newscast.
