An incredible story.

Ironically we get to hear humanity at it's best, after an act of humanity at its worst!

I suspect acts of terrorism, are possibly motivated by a powerful world leadership marginalising the disadvantaged.

I like being a Westerner and "On The Winning Team" . Yet have concern at what cost ! Does anyone ever "win" when others are so ignored,judged and destroyed.

Revenge and retribution have infinite patience when one glances through history....

Mastering Ego replacing the "Clowns and Circus masquerading as Governance" with....
Compassion, care understanding and healthy respectful boundaries whether at home or on a State-Country to Country....as the people in this town displayed to total strangers.
That I propose, is the type of World leadership we need to demand and get.

Must visit the town to soak up such practical humbleness.

It was an interesting story, but a boring read. Too many names and people, I couldn't keep track. And nothing really happens.

interesting and boring at the same time

This read is so heartwarming and shows a beautiful side of humanity amid the shock and devastation of 9/11.

Heartwarming
