I was in NYC on September 11th. By far the worst part
was not that day, but the months afterwards as my fellow NYers put up
posters acknowledging their loved one was missing. Literally everyone I
knew in NY either knew someone in the two towers who died or was one
person removed. Second, it is probably not well known outside of NY or
maybe I am wrong about this: but no one actually knows how many people
died in the collapse of the towers. Why is that, you may ask, its
because there is illegal immigration in all areas of american life, and
the financial industries are far from immune and when something bad
happens, the family is not going to go to the police only to have ICE
show up in a week or month to deport them. Finally, you make your guess
at how many people died, then make a guess as to their average body
weight, then realize that the clean up crews had to remove that much
dead body parts that was layered through the wreckage. Do the math. You
will be surprised.
