1. Gonzalo Cavedo had only seconds before a bomb exploded right next to him
Gonzalo Cavedo’s fate was undoubtedly grim, yet in the end, someone from above truly loved him. This photograph was taken just before the red vehicle bomb detonated. The deadliest incident in Northern Ireland in thirty years occurred on August 15, 1998, when a 500-pound bomb was planted in the trunk of a red Vauxhall Cavalier on an avenue in Omagh.
The blast left 29 people dead and many more injured. However, Gonzalo and the kid both made it through this ordeal, but unfortunately, the man who took the picture perished during the explosion. Can you imagine the terror all those people experienced?

How can I forget the horrible day of September 11, 2001? I was doing my normal morning routine of an hour on my treadmill, watching the news on TV, when, suddenly, the cameras all shifted to NY’s World Trade Center and the first tower being struck. To say I felt the shock would be an understatement. My treadmill had a chest-strap that kept track of my heart-rate, and the moment I saw the plane hitting the towers, my treadmill slowed almost to a stop! I stood there, aghast at what I saw, unwilling to accept it, knowing that it was real. All these years later, I still feel an odd sense of shock just in recalling the incident. Extreme sorrow is so inadequate when reflecting on this outrage.
We witnessed pure evil that day. Human being do not perpetrate such an act – demons do. Never forget. NEVER FORGIVE!!!!!
That was a terrible day for me too!! It was my birthday, and I was on vacation in Baltimore, MD at the Inner Harbor. Watching the news on tv, in my hotel room and having my morning coffee. My girlfriend was in the shower. There was a breaking news story in NY, and I saw the first tower on fire. When the second tower got hit, I let out a gasp and screamed oh no!! My girlfriend ran into the room, wondering why I had screamed!! We both stood there, in shock and total silence!! I still feel sadness and an uneasiness every birthday now. I also watch the videos every year!! NEVER FORGET!!
