The pictures bring back the tightness in my chest and the feeling of emotional horror/disbelief. I could cry again. I commend you for your work which will serve as a memorial not just to those whose lives were lost, but also to those who demonstrated that humanity can balance itself in response to horror with acts of heroism. 11111111111111111111111111111111 ...
