This day in history:

I remember I was a sophomore in high school. I remember watching the classroom tvs throughout the day and the horrified looks of some of my classmates. I remember my science teacher saying she just wanted to leave and hug her daughter. A few days after, in one of my classes, we had a memorial project and the person I picked was a 9 year old girl named Zoe Falkenberg. Her gamily was flying either to or home from a vacation.
My birthday is 9/15, I donated all my birthday money that year to the firefighters. Years later, my family was at a restaurant and we noticed the waitress had a NY accent. Turns out, her husband was on the missing list for several days after September 11th. (I grew up in Tucson/Marana) God rest the victims and first responders that perished on 9/11/2001.

Around 50% of the mined gold on Earth comes from one source.
This gold all once came from a single plateau located in South Africa. This plateau is known as the Witwatersrand.
12 plants and 5 animals make up 75% of diets around the world.
The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization states that this lowers major health risks. By concentrating our diets to this specific group, we become more resilient to diseases, pests, and climate change.
Just a freidnly reminder, the Snakepit is a politics free zone. Have a great day.
