Oh, how I wish I was better with words but here goes anyway. These were children. They may have been in the 20's with some a little older. The older teachers died tring to save others. They did what they could do. The young have no experience to draw from to help them make bold sacrifices. Society doesn't teach children that to die for another is noble. No one in the academic community was prpared for such an evil deed. Those on Flight 93 only raised up when they realized that two other planes had crashed into buildings. They were not children and even they had to learn from two other events. I'm sure every one has learned something from this tragic event. Let us hope it is enough to see each us through the next tragic event.
