11 years ago on this day, September 11th, 2001, a series of four suicide attacks that were committed in the United States. On that Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets. The hijackers intentionally piloted two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City; both towers collapsed within two hours. The hijackers also intentionally crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and intended to pilot the fourth hijacked jet, United Airlines Flight 93, into the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.; however, the plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers attempted to take control of the jet from the hijackers. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks, including the 246 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes.
Today is not only a day of remembrance for those that were lost, but also a day to honor the brave police, fire fighters, service men, and citizens who were there on the frontlines. That day marked all that remember in very different ways. Please take a moment today to stop and REMEMBER 9/11.

LaSalle General Hospital in association with the GEO Detention Facility hosted our annual External Emergency Disaster Drill on June 8, 2012.
The scenario involved a log truck speeding down Pinehill Road. The log truck struck one of LDF/GEO’s transportation vans transporting people to GEO causing the van to turn over and ignighting a fire on the transportation van. There were some fatalities, some serious injuries, and several walking wounded. Medical staff at GEO triaged the victims and made arrangements to transfer them to surrounding facilities as needed. Victims were not actually taken to the local hospitals. LaSalle General Hospital asked the Rod Brady VoTech LPN Class to pose as victims for our disaster drill at LGH. We do appreciate the 17 LPN students who participated in our drill. This helps us to simulate a full scale disaster and gives us very helpful practice in putting our disaster plan into effect. The drill was a huge success and gives LGH valuable insight in our current disaster plans and how we can improve them. We appreciate everyone for their participation and look forward to having our next drill very soon.
