On this date in the history of human beings (and the obvious), in 1609, Manhattan Island was discovered by Henry Hudson. In 2001, 2,996 people died in the first major attack on US soil since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, when four hijacked aircraft crashed in three locations (the World Trade Center in NYC, the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and a field near Shanksville, PA). But you know that... and you know what happened after that... and you also know that Bruce Springsteen became the unofficial spokesman for the human race, and this magical song of redemption and renewal was one of the things that helped ease the pain... at least it did for me.
