Sometime between September 19 and 25, 2001, an assistant to NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw handled a suspicious envelope addressed to Brokaw that contained a "sand-like" powdery substance, which turned out to be anthrax. Though she and 20 others survived exposure, five people died before the FBI investigation was complete.
The story of the Port Authority Police Department on September 11, 2001 is a one of unrivaled bravery. The amazing men and women of the PAPD gave everything they had – 37 lives, more than any police department has ever lost in a single event.
