I'd like to echo Wes' comments and also say that while what I saw today 
on TV made me very sad, at the same time it restored my faith in humanity
as I watched New Yorkers handle not only the worst terrorist attack 
in US history, but probably the world, with incredible bravery and 
compassion for their fellow human beings.  

My heart goes out to all the families of victims who died in this 
horrific act, especially the children who have lost a mom or dad or both.
