On This Date - Sam Flomenhoft

On October 2, 1982, a bomb attack in Tehran killed 60 people, and injured 70. On the site I found this, it was very worthy of noting, yet today we probably wouldn't think much of it. It would certainly be one of the bigger terrorists strikes into today's Middle East, yet it wouldn't be all too uncommon. This event influenced the city of Tehran greatly I'm sure. There were 60 families who lost someone, and even more who were scared senseless. It impacted the Middle East overall because it exemplified the growing strength and danger of terrorism, that would eventually blaze through the Middle East, making it as lethal as a war zone. It impacted the World because it brought attention to terrorism, and its awful impacts, yet we were still unable to stop it. I do not know much about this event but overall I hate it. I hate that something like this could happen and I hate even more that this has become so common today. When one thinks of October 2, this attack probably doesn't come to mind but for many people this is a day of mourning and remembrance of lost loved ones in the bomb. For this reason, this event is worth noting, and remembering, for the future October seconds to come. And also, we can hopefully make tragedies such as this a less common event in the Middle East, and throughout the world in general. One day we can join together to reduce the amount of October 2, 19862s.
