Thirty-three years ago today, on February 26, 1993, terrorists drove an explosives-laden truck into the World Trade Center garage beneath the North Tower. The explosives detonated, killing six people, as well as an unborn child, and injuring 1,042 others.
Today, we remember those we lost:
- John DiGiovanni
- Robert Kirkpatrick
- Stephen Knapp
- William Macko
- William Mercado
- Monica Smith and her unborn child
May they all rest in the Lord’s eternal embrace.
