"A hand among the rubble". The memory of a son of Beja and the question: what did the world learn 25 years later?

Eddie Branquinho, son of Dona Benvinda, a historical figure from Beja, and former detective with the Newark Police, joined rescue teams searching for survivors in the rubble of the World Trade Center following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Twenty-five years later, he remembers an image that never lost its sharpness: a hand still holding a photograph. The article reflects on the human impact of the tragedy, which caused nearly three thousand deaths, and on the profound changes it sparked in the world — from increased security and surveillance to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as increased discrimination against Muslim communities. It also points out that the New York Fire Department has already lost over 600 members due to health problems related to exposure to the rubble, and raises the question of how much the world learned from that morning, particularly about the need to combat terror without losing sight of the protection of human life.
