How do we remember a day so filled with horror and bravery? People are
finding their own ways to memorialize the dead. More than 3,000 people
were killed at the World Trade Center, including 343 New York City
firefighters, 23 New York City police officers and 37 Port Authority
Police officers. One hundred eighty-nine perished at the Pentagon crash
site, while in Pennsylvania, 44 people died in a fiery jet crash, after
passengers apparently overpowered the terrorists and drove the plane
into the ground. Permanent memorials represent more of a challenge:
Should New York rebuild? Or should the terror sites remain barren
reminders? |
