That’s a total of 2986 people who died. Consider how many widows, orphans and widowers were left, along with how many people must have lost sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and so forth. The impact to families, congregations, corporate staffs, neighborhoods and the like makes for a staggering set of permutations, not to mention the emotional effect on the rest of us. Think about those numbers & remember that more Americans were killed on September 11th than we lost in the first three years of armed conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. 2, 403 Americans were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, but the victims of the attacks on September 11th were all unarmed civilians. We really should never forget....
Many more would have died in the Towers if the FD hadn't been running in to save people.
