I heard today that there are some teachers out there who utilize photos to help our youngest realize how awful this was. Wondering if it works though. Pictures of WWII and Pearl Harbor were hard for me to appreciate when I was that age. Prehistoric history...
Thanks for posting Jerry. Every September 11 is a sad day for those of us who lived through it.

Pictures of WWII and Pearl Harbor were hard for me to appreciate when I was that age. Prehistoric history... Thanks for posting Jerry. Every September 11 is a sad day for those of us who lived through it. I think some of the most heartbreaking pictures I have ever seen were pictures of those that jumped from the towers to escape the horrific infernal of flames inside the two buildings. "They jumped through windows already broken and then, later, through windows they broke themselves. They jumped to escape the smoke and the fire; they jumped when the ceilings fell and the floors collapsed; they jumped just to breathe once more before they died. They jumped continually, from all four sides of the building, and from all floors above and around the building's fatal wound. They jumped from the offices of Marsh & McLennan, the insurance company; from the offices of Cantor Fitzgerald, the bond-trading company; from Windows on the World, the restaurant on the 106th and 107th floors--the top. For more than an hour and a half, they streamed from the building, one after another, consecutively rather than en masse, as if each individual required the sight of another individual jumping before mustering the courage to jump himself or herself. One photograph, taken at a distance, shows people jumping in perfect sequence, like parachutists, forming an arc composed of three plummeting people, evenly spaced. Indeed, there were reports that some tried parachuting, before the force generated by their fall ripped the drapes, the tablecloths, the desperately gathered fabric, from their hands. They were all, obviously, very much alive on their way down, and their way down lasted an approximate count of ten seconds. They were all, obviously, not just killed when they landed but destroyed, in body though not, one prays, in soul." (Esquire Magazine)
