The Terrorists thought that 9/11 would make the United States weak. Instead 9/11 brought the people of america closer togeather. It made us stronger and more consicious. At the 8th anniversary of 9/11, people joined togeather at the WTC site to read the names of the people who perished. Some of those people sacrificed their life to save thousands of others. A man from Morgan Stanley, helped evacuate his employees. After the people were all evacuated, he went up to search for more people. five minutes later, the tower collapsed. He was in the South Tower and the south tower collapsed first. He told his friend that he's going to do one more sweep of the floor. His friend and wife told him to get out of the tower. He refused to get out and insisted that he check the floor for more people. This act of selflessness is the mark of a true hero. He put the lives of others before himself.
This tragic event showed the world that in a life threatening situation, most people will help others. Heros do not need super powers to be heros. Ordinary heros are among ordinary people.
