But one could further question how it was that MORE were not lost.... While 3000 souls is an outrageous loss, it could so easily have been 10,000, or more.
I was at work that day...my fiance (now my DH) called me to say that a plane had flown into the WTC. I had figured it was a Cessna-type plane and went back to working. Shortly later, we all learned the awful truth. Numbing video on TV for days, hoping that rescue workers would be safe, hoping that families would be able to cope, that government would make the right decisions....
Now I hope that the 10 yr anniversary doesn't cause more controversy than the event it attempts to commemorate. Honestly, to NOT invite first responders??? How crazy is that? I haven't read any of the news regarding this, so only saw the blurb that they were not invited due to space constraints. Haven't watched any shows yet...probably this weekend when I'm laid up after another pain mgmt procedure, I'll watch till I cry.
