"'Tis surprising to see how rapidly a panic will somtimes run through a country. All nations and ages have been subject to them." (52)
I paired this quote and this picture together because often times when countries do not get along with eachother, they think that the only way to solve a problem is to go into war over their controversies, or to hurt the other country in a way that they think will make thier point. When the World Trade Center was hit by a plane on 9/11, no one expected it to be from the cause of a terrorist attack, and no one was ready for the devastation it brought to New York and the rest of the country. Although it was a surprising day, the panic spread throughout the counrty very quickly and this panic can be seen on these peoples faces in the picture, in their reaction to the attacks. Everyone was affected in a different but heavy way, no matter what age they were, and people are still affected to this day.
