CHRISTINA PARK, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Hello, and welcome to CNN Student News. I'm Christina Park. Today is Monday, September 11th. It's been five years since the attacks that changed our world. We mark this noteworthy date with a special program. But before we begin our 9/11coverage. Here are the top stories.

First Up: Today's Headlines
PARK: The Space Shuttle Atlantis is safely aloft, after nearly two weeks of launch delays. Astronauts are set today to deliver 17 tons of equipment, including solar panels, to the international space station after an early morning-docking. There's been concern about damage caused by falling debris during Saturday's lift-off. But NASA says early indications show no cause for concern. There's could be some progress in nuclear talks with Iran. Diplomats say Iran will consider a temporary halt of its uranium enrichment. That follows weekend talks by Iranian and European union officials, over Iran's contested nuclear program. Iran has been defying a U.N. resolution demanding the suspension of its nuclear activity. Experts say there's "no danger" following a strong earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico. The 6.0 magnitude quake was centered west of Tampa, Florida. People feeling Sunday's quake called in reports from around the southeast. Including Florida, Georgia and even the Carolinas. No major damage was reported. Bermuda's bracing for a day of strong winds and heavy rains, from hurricane Florence. A hurricane warning's been posted for the British territory, that's 640 miles off the U.S. Atlantic coast. Forecasts say the storm could hit category 2 status today. Up to 10 inches of rain could fall in some areas.

9/11: The World Remembers
PARK: Today, people around the nation are pausing to remember the September 11th attacks. It was five years ago today, when 19 men hijacked four commercial airplanes. Two of the planes crashed into New York's World Trade Center. A third crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth crashed in rural Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks, which introduced many of us to a terrorist organization called al Qaeda, and its leader Osama bin Laden. Since then, wars have followed in Iraq, and Afghanistan. President Bush and first lady Laura Bush laid a wreath yesterday, at New York's "ground zero", where the World Trade towers once stood. The president plans to attend several ceremonies today, including one at the Pentagon, where 184 people died.
For those who lost loved ones on September 11th, the anniversary can only bring pain and questions. On that day, United Airlines flight 93 crashed in rural Pennsylvania, near Shanksville, killing 40 people. Kareen Wynter spoke with one victim's mother, who wonders whether enough's been done to prevent a similar tragedy.

ALICE HOAGLAND, FORMER FLIGHT ATTENDANT: It was riveting and horrifying. It's a day we're never gonna get over.
KAREEN WYNTER, CNN REPORTER: The morning of September 11th 2001 started out like any other day for Alice Hoagland and her family. Hoagland was a flight attendant for a major airline at the time. She wasn't flying that morning, but her son 31-year-old Mark Bingham was onboard United flight 93 headed to San Francisco. What happened in the skies that day would change her life...and the course of history.
CNN NEWS ANCHOR: This is the World Trade Center and we have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plane has crashed into one of the towers.
CNN NEWS ANCHOR: A plane it is described as probably being a jumbo jet sized plane crashed into the Pentagon.
CNN NEWS ANCHOR: United Airlines Flight 93 leaving Newark, on the way to San Francisco believed to have crashed in Pennsylvania.
WYNTER: Hoagland's son Mark was hailed as one of many heroes on that doomed aircraft who tried to regain control of the hijacked plane. Hoagland says, as a flight attendant, she never felt completely safe off the ground...She was afraid of terrorism. But she never imagined she'd lose a loved one to it.
HOAGLAND: Whether or not I imagined it, the problem is real. The specter of terrorism is real. It was then, and we really haven't solved the problems. It is extremely frustrating to see how little progress has been made.
WYNTER: Hoagland no longer works for the airline industry. She has lobbied for bills in congress that specifically address the issues of terrorism and airline security. Five years after the worst terrorist attack in this country--she wonders how much safer we are today.
HOAGLAND: Cargo security and checked bagged security and even carry on bags security is still mighty mighty poor. We can not afford to have those kinds of deficiencies in security. There are lots of holes lots of loopholes.
WYNTER: Hoagland often thinks about her son's short life--- and wonders what he'd be like today. And whether her sister Candice, a flight attendant for a major airline could meet the same fate.
HOAGLAND: Went with me into training and she still flies. Brave woman. I worry about her everyday she flies. I don't think the airlines have our best interest at heart.
WYNTER: Hoagland is no longer a frequent flier. But there's one trip she takes cross country each year from her California home. To the crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania--where she lost her only son - and a big part of her own life.
HOAGLAND: I'm extremely sad, I'm extremely depressed a lot of the time. I try to be upbeat because there is so much work to be done. But if we allow ourselves to wallow and indulge in the depression and the grief that we feel we won't get the job done.
WYNTER: Kareen Wynter, CNN, Los Gatos, California.

Written Word
JILL B. WAVERLY, MISSOURI: After that day, there was more pride in my heart for my country than I ever thought was possible. All I wanted to do was wish everything was back to normal, the way I knew the world was, without any worry.

9/11: You Remember
PARK: The September 11th terrorist attacks are clearly among the biggest events of your young lives. Where tributes are concerned, there's so little we can offer that hasn't already been said. So we thought we'd let you do the talking. Carl Azuz recaps some of our viewers' remembrances of the attacks that changed the United States, and our world.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS REPORTER: You were probably already in school when it all began. Some heard about it through announcements, some through their teachers; some actually saw it unfold on television.
AZUZ: 'I was sitting in my math class when my teacher got a disturbing phone call...' wrote Nathan M. 'He ran to the television set and turned to the nearest news station... fire, smoke and debris filled the screen.'
AZUZ: There were teachers who choked back tears as they tried to explain it...Teachers who tried to come to terms with it themselves...Teachers Who debated whether or not to say something terrible had occurred. How to explain something like September 11th wasn't in their handbooks. Hannah wrote in, '...all I could remember from that day was our teacher telling us that something really bad happened that morning... None of my classmates and I knew what she was talking about.'
AZUZ: They weren't alone; many of you said that you didn't understand it -- that understanding would come in the days and the years that followed. And the impact lingers on. Nick K. told us, 'My dad is a fireman and before [September 11] I didn't think that his job was that hard and dangerous, but now I worry every time I hear the sirens pulling out of the station.' Others described the pain and anxiety the memory brings:
JON: It is a hard thing to get over it.
DANIELLE: People are still hurting.
GREG L.: We have to make sure it never happens again.
AZUZ: But out of the ashes came reverence, sympathy, and solidarity.
'I gained respect,' wrote Kevin, 'respect for the firefighters in New York...for those who lost their lives...for the United States for sticking together after what happened...' E.S. said, '...one thing I realized is that our nation grew closer and stronger. Five years later and we are still strong.' And lest the heroism of that day be forgotten. Becca told us, 'I think the people who saved lives should be recognized every September 11th.' Carl Azuz, CNN Student News.

9/11 Memorials
PARK: The date brought an unprecedented attack meant to terrorize a nation. Five years later, many people remember September 11th as a date that united our country like no other event. And so to close our show, we offer some memorial images. In New York City, an enormous flag hangs from the George Washington Bridge. It measures 90-feet by 60-feet and flies as a symbol of one city's resolve, in the face of terror. Also in New York, two new memorial quilts have been unveiled. One features the names of every 9/11 victim. The other honors the Port Authority's 47 civilian workers who were killed. And at a Civil War Battlefield near Atlanta, Georgia, nearly 3,000 newly planted American flags stand in silent tribute to those who died. It's a fitting symbol, and a fitting way to conclude this special edition of CNN Student News. I'm Christina Park. Thanks for joining us.
