7. Everyone who died that day was a victim, but only those attempting rescues were heroes.
Edited on Mon Sep-12-11 01:33 AM by No Elephants
Please don't misunderstand. I have as sympathy for everyone who died or was injured that day, as well as for their loved ones. But they were not all heroes, anymore than everyone who gets hit by a car on the way to work is a hero.

I don't know if what we are doing about those deaths ten years is healthy for anyone, including survivors who lost a loved one. Maybe especially for the survivors who lost a loved one.
