22 Reflection Being ignorant to the topic I just assumed that terrorism was the one attack that happened on the twin towers and never really gave a second thought about it, but now knowing how many extremists were involved it would only make sense that there would be vast numbers of terrorist acts. This terror has been around for many years hurting lives, hearts, and even unions as a whole.
