This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published September 11, 2011 and can be found here.

   9/11 destroyed the lives of thousands of innocent people and had a profound impact on countless others. But 9/11 didn't end on that September morning ten years ago.

RochesterSubway.com's home page went dark today -- honoring the     people    who lost their lives that morning. Also listed are the thousands of coalition causalities from the Iraq and Afghanstan wars.

Not listed are the families, husbands, wives, and children who have been left behind. Not listed are the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani civilian casualties or their families. Not listed are the people who will be lost tomorrow or the next day; on the battle field, or in acts of terror.

We will never forget 9/11. And we continue to wait for 9/12.
