We examine details from various historical events, from the great fire of Rome to the 9/11 attacks, to uncover the consequences for everyone involved. For some, this information may be difficult to accept. Stripping away the illusions can be painful at first, but having this knowledge is empowering, to the benefit of all humanity.
