## Resource

In the chilling aftermath of 9/11, journalist Christie Blatchford arrived at Ground Zero just after midnight on September 12, 2001, to witness a scene stripped of humanity—“no there here,” she wrote—where bone and tissue mingled with shredded paper, and rescue efforts yielded few survivors. Her raw, haunting dispatches contrasted the economic heart of America with the human devastation below, honoring first responders who charged into danger while others fled. Blatchford’s work captured outrage, empathy, and resolve in that darkest hour, reminding us of the loss—not just of lives, but of a voice that chronicled resilience. She passed away in February 2020, leaving behind a legacy of courage and clarity, now reprinted as a tribute to both the tragedy of 9/11 and her enduring spirit.
