Countless numbers of lives were SAVED as a result of improvements made after this tragedy.Kathleen A.

Please do present Michael Hirsch with a hats off from me; what a wonderful tribute he is helping to uncover. You know the old saying, never uncover an old wound - but in this case it honors those through lost that fateful day instead of losing the entire event to time.<br /><br />A true relief to families as stated before me.<br /><br />JennJennifer R.

Michael Hirsch really deserves the credit for his perseverance and painstaking work. He learned that one of the victims lived on his block, and he was off to the races after that.Kathleen A.

How eerily familiar this tragedy is to 9/11, with so many victims opting to jump rather than burn to death. At first, people thought they were tossing bolts of expensive fabric, then realized they were people on the ground, mostly young women.<br />Use & share whatever you'd like. <br />Enjoy your Monday, too!Kathleen A.
