[QUOTE="DDD, post: 458528, member: 35"] I've watched a couple of shows this week about 9/11. Like everyone else I was glued to the TV during the unfolding of the tragedy. There are a couple of things I've never heard more about after the actual coverage. Last night I watched "children of 9/11" and that made me wonder again. Wasn't there a day care center in the towers? I'm sure I recall there was but I've never read about the children's safety. I assume they were evacuated quickly but I've never actually heard. From a human interest perspective I'd like to know. I've also never read or heard how many spectators perished. I know this isn't an "up" subject but I'm curious. Does anyone know? Also on the program I watched last night one of the children (now adult) lost his Mom at the Pentagon site. They noted that he never received any compensation. Other featured children were compensated.What were the rules that were used. The child who was not compensated was evidently left parentless and from a lower socio-economic group was taken in by relatives in the South. Left me curious whether there was a difference between Tower deaths and Pentagon deaths or if filing was complicated and so some survivors were left without. DDD [/QUOTE]
