9/11 Statistics
The piece I bring today is in memory of 9/11.
It’s a compilation of a few of the vast statistics and a diagram of sorts for the 4 flights.
I put the information I used into a semblance of order below, these are very limited, but I hope they convey something of the tragedy of “the worst day.”
I connected each flight to its destination. The red words on the curving lines are words I saw repeatedly when I read a transcript from “Voices Inside the Tower.” I had the last letters falling off to allude to those who jumped.
All statistics are garnered from here (check it out for a far more wholesome list):
