9/11 in Las Vegas

We are coming up on a decade since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon outside Washington. The terrorists apparently made a stop in Las Vegas but the reason why now seems lost to history. As the 10th anniversary approaches we talk to Las Vegans about their recollections of the attack and what they think is the significance for us now.
