NASA
Today marks two decades since the horrific terrorist attacks that killed a total of 2,977 people (including the 19 perpetrators) in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.
Frank Culbertson, who was the commander of the Expedition 3 crew aboard the International Space Station at the time, was also the only American off the planet when this world-altering tragedy occurred.
It must've obviously been a helpless feeling for Culbertson to witness such a hateful act by human beings while situated on a spacecraft meant to benefit all of humanity.
Here's hoping that no other astronaut and/or cosmonaut will have to gaze down at Earth and view another evil man-made calamity from the beauty of space...ever again. That is all.
