[Complete] Scene Caption: A crowd of some 34,000 aviation enthusiasts braved hours of bitter cold and drenching rains at the Wright Brother's National memorial hoping to witness the 100th anniversary reenactment of the "12 seconds that changed the world" at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (NC), on December 17, 2003. Members of the Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) made two attempts to repeat the historic event when at 10:35 one hundred years before, Orville and Wilbur Wright, from Ohio, first achieved power flight in a heavier than air aeroplane they designed and built in their bicycle shop. The prevailing winds that brought the brothers to Kitty Hawk weren't on hand at the Centennial of flight celebration, and despite two attempts between storm fronts, pilot Kevin Kochersberger wasn't able to get the EAA's 1903 Wright flyer reproduction off the rail.
