It would be impossible to have a blog on news and events without including the most important world event of the decade. Next month will mark the 9th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 tragedy. The unfortunate event on 9/11 has left many in utter shock, as well as dismissed any notions of American Invisibility that we might have once had.
The attack has touched us in ways we cannot explain by reaching deep into our national psyche.
The World Trade Center was designed in early 1960’s by Japanese Architect; Minoru Yamasaki and stood 110 stories high. The structure was easily the city’s most recognizable landmark after the Statue of Liberty. The complex was located in the heart of New York City’s downtown financial district and is now referred to as “Ground Zero”. The Twin Towers were a symbol of America’s financial might and that is specifically why the terrorist targeted them.
How could this have happened?
Why do they hate us?
Where is Osama Bin Laden?
Several years later, after thousands of funeral services, two wars, and countless copycat attacks, these questions continue to lingerie.
