Tragedy and Triumph

This day 24 years ago is etched in any mind cognizant of that day’s events. The world stopped. Classes were cancelled.  Offices were shut down. Airports grounded planes. Emergency responders were on standby. And the world waited. The attack was televised, and many tuning in to see the burning tower witnessed the second crash. This was when the ground felt like it was crumbling. News of another crash at the Pentagon also hit the airwaves.
