This was a great read. I lived in Southern California in 2001, but I visited the site in January 2002. It was devastating to see so many names written on the plywood erected around the site. Hundreds of photographs of the victims were stapled to the wood as well. There were memorials of flowers with candles surrounding the site. It brings tears to my eyes even today when I remember.
