2996

This evening, Jackie (siennastarr) alerted me to a project to honour the victims of the 9/11 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. There were 2,996 victims, and bloggers are asked to write an entry on one individual killed on that day, but not until September 11th, 2006.

I visited the site and was assigned victim #1442, Norberto Hernandez. I will endeavour to find out more, if I can, and write about him on September 11th.

At time of writing, they need another 1554 bloggers - please spread the word. All bloggers are welcome, I think people the world over were affected by the events of that day.

  2. I visited it through Jackie too, LOL, and Mosie over at My Country Life. I got assigned someone too but then I did some research on him and found out that they weren't 100% sure he was in the WTC that day so not sure what to do about that. I did write an email to the project coordinator to see what their thoughts were since the guy I got wasn't on the official WTC list of victims.
