Many times I have volunteered at disaster sites, but the distance from AZ to NYC cancelled out that idea. You are right, widge. Any time people die unexpectedly it is a tragedy to families and society in general. That applies to any disaster no matter where it occurs. Sometimes we forget that folks from other lands suffer as well. The circumstances for 9/11 were unique ( and I pray it stays unique), but all disasters, man made or natural have victims, and death is death.
As a former New Yorker, and watching the WTC get built, it affected me deeply that such an icon of America could be so easily lost and cost so much in human life, and be the result of such hate and anger. For a while, I doubted the right of the human race to exist, capable of such acts. Sometimes I still do.
