Jungian Reflections on September 11

Throughout history, wars and other catastrophes have produce mass destruction far greater than what occurred in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on New York and Washington. Yet seldom has such a pervasive and all-encompassing shock been felt with the brutal and unprecedented '911'. Along with the tragic aspects, what might this 'global nightmare' have to say to us?
