This article on CNN saddens me so much. It appears that the UK lost more citizens in the WTC collapse than Oklahoma lost during the OKC bombing. Even more sobering, "A special changing of the guard is due to take place outside Buckingham Palace on Thursday, to the sound of the U.S. National Anthem. It will follow a two-minute silence." Who would have ever dreamed our national anthem would be played at Buckingham Palace?
Here are the numbers by country: "About 100 Britons are known to have died in the New York attacks, and the final toll could reach the 'middle hundreds' if not higher, UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said. Nine Australians have been confirmed dead, with a further 85 missing. Japan, which still has 100 nationals unaccounted for, promised full co-operation if the U.S. retaliates."
Thankfully they are still finding people alive in the rubble. All any of us can really do, besides cash donations and giving blood, is pray...
