Friday, September 12, 2003ThinkingYou know, looking at what happened on September 11, 2001, one thing stands out in my mind above all others. What didn't happen. No panic, no mob scenes, no trampling of pregnant women and small children. The individual acts of heroism are too numerous to try to list. 25,000 people made it out of the towers of the WTC because they didn't panic and because hundreds of heros, police, fire, EMS and ordinary citizens rose to the occasion. Giving direction. Helping the injured. Calming, coaxing, comforting. Those staircases could have been a charnal house; instead they were the life saving escape for tens of thousands. I won't claim that this behavior was a purely American thing. Oh, I'd like to believe it, but it wasn't just Americans on those stairs. America can take pride, however, in the accomplishments of that day, of all who were saved, and those who were not but rose to be the best that a human being can be. At the Pentagon, on Flight 93, in the WTC, some men became angels that day. That should make everyone a little bit prouder. -- posted by Chuck at Friday, September 12, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
