Seven Years Later

Written by Arianne (To Think Is To Create)

Today is the day that most people know exactly "where they were when", never forgetting those moments of realization at what was happening.  The day when everything stopped, and everything changed.  Forever.

Of the estimated 400,000 people believed to have been heavily exposed to pollution from the disaster, data suggests that 35,000 to 70,000 people developed PTSD and 3,800 to 12,600 may have developed asthma, city health officials said.

Read the rest here.  The aftermath continues.

Today we honor those that lost their lives on that day.  You are remembered.

Thanks for keeping this alive. I feel bad I hadn't really thought about it until this morning when I read here. Thank you, once again.

I was just thinking about it.

I can't believe it was 7 years ago… in some ways it feels like yesterday, but at the same time my life is so 100% different than it was then.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families who lost loved ones.
