This has been on my TBR for a long time and I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. A really interesting account of a day that has been mischaracterized and incorrectly recounted by the media and popular culture. The timeline was a little all over the place and I wish we had gotten a better deep dive as to how misinformation was perpetrated by the media during the initial hours of the tragedy.
Overall though I think this was a well-written, tactful story that did justice to the victims and the situation. If you're interested in this day, what happened, why it happened, and its long-lasting events on media and culture, this is the place to start.
