Tragedy

Today, September 11th, is Patriot Day in America.  A day to remember those who died in the terrorist attacks eleven years ago.  In addition to the victims, there were heroes.  People who risked life and limb to save as many people as they could.

For today's prompt, think of a tragedy.  Write a flashy piece describing what you were doing there before tragedy struck, or how you came to be at the scene trying to save lives...or maybe you were the one who caused it, intentionally or not.
