Lilo, the head anarch of freenode, mentioned a very important thing about 9/11 that is far too easily forgotten.

Three thousand people died, yes.  And this should not be forgotten or forgiven.

But we must also never forget that twenty-five thousand people made it out.

Yeah. Though one should also remember that they thought they were keeping people safe from falling debris -- no-one imagined the towers would collapse. I'm sure if they'd thought there was a risk of collapse, they wouldn't have sent ANYONE back in, and there'd have been a bigger effort to get more helos topside sooner to evacuate the upper floors.

But you do the best you can with the information you have.
