Almost two thousand lives were lost on that fateful day and thousands were blinded by flying glass as they ran to office windows wondering if the war had come to them.This is the story of a young man aged only fifteen who goes from a boy to man almost in a day as he struggles to save many lives the consisted of many schoolchildren who had just began the day. Unknown. to John all of his family perish in the explosion.As dirt mingled with blood his hands dug continually as he listened for voices crying out for help.Tirelessly he could be seen dragging bodies towards the every growing pile along with others.
