This Day in History

[Frank59]

On this night 18 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. Tonight as you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

My heart goes out to the ones who lost a loved one. My prayers to all.

Never forget, never forgive.

Two links here...
This first one is about Rick Rescorla, head of security for Morgan Stanley. He died a hero's death, saving 2700 of his co-workers.

The second link is by a gentleman named Michael Hingston. He and his dog Roselle made it out from the 78th floor. He has some observations on the 18 years since the attack. I attended high school with Mike.
