On September 11, 2001, almost 3,000 people lost their lives during the attacks at the Twin Towers, Pentagon and aboard United Airlines Flight 93. At 8:46 a.m. EST, American Airlines Flight 11 (traveling from Boston to Los Angeles) hit the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City in what we now know as the 9/11 terror attacks. At 9:03 a.m. ET, United Airlines Flight 175 (traveling from Boston to Los Angeles) hit the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. At 9:37 a.m. ET, American Airlines Flight 77 (traveling from Dulles, Virginia, to Los Angeles) hit the Pentagon Building in Washington. And at 10:03 a.m. ET, United Airlines Flight 93 (traveling from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco) crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Around the country, people pause to remember those who lost their lives on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, vowing to "never forget." Many find solace in 9/11 tribute quotes and 9/11 memorial quotes. This year, on the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 tragedy, remember all the people that were lost that day. ...

🐻A note to the public about black bears as we have seen one just outside of Hickman today. 🐻

While black bears can be tolerant of people, they should always be treated as the wild animals they are, whether in a residential or backcountry area. Black bears are rarely aggressive towards people and typically go out of their way to avoid contact.

Following these simple guidelines will minimize any unnecessary and potentially dangerous encounters.

• Never approach a bear!
• Bears will almost always find an escape route if they are left alone.
• Shout and throw sticks or rocks in the vicinity of a bear to encourage flight once an escape route has been established.
• Females with cubs will often climb a tree to for escape cover; never surround a tree holding any bear, especially a female with cubs!
• Feeding bears creates behaviors in those animals that are almost impossible to correct.
•Realize that ONE person feeding bears will create a problem animal that may affect multiple neighborhoods…please do not try to feed the bear.
• If cornered or threatened, bears may slap the ground, “pop” their jaws, or “huff” as a warning. If you see those behaviors, you are too close! Slowly back away while always facing the bear.

Notify the KDFWR immediately if you witness aggressive behavior by black bears!

There is no open HUNTING season on black bear in Kentucky. Anyone illegally shooting or trapping a bear is subject to prosecution by KDFWR. ... See MoreSee Less

Leave the bear alone y’all people are funny… there’s plenty of other animals that have readapted here over the years and so can a bear… and you should really study what black bear eat it’s definitely not live stock it isn’t a lion lol 😂 they would rather eat berries and other vegetation..

Need to trank the bear, get it back to the Ozarks, about 5 hour drive, everything is dried up in the woods because of lack of rain. Probably hungry and scared. Probably swam a low spot in the river.

Why do I feel this part is directed towards me? 🥴… “While black bears can be tolerant of people, they should always be treated as the wild animals they are, whether in a residential or backcountry area.”
