25th Anniversary of September 11 / For most born before this century, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, still stand among a handful of "where were you when that happened" moments. Beyond the thousands of lives were lost, they cast a long shadow across America and the world. 9/11 is a stark reminder that not all disasters are "natural." Accidents, negligence, and human hatred can bring unannounced threats and dangers. Keep a mindset of preparedness and an awareness of potential threats.
