February 26. 2/26. It doesn't usually ring a bell the way, say, 9/11 does. But it was 18 years ago tomorrow that the World Trade Center was bombed.

The 9/11 Memorial Museum is publishing a series of posts about 2/26 and today provides Carl Selinger's last letter. He was stuck in a smoke-filled elevator and thought he was going to die (click image for larger version).

He didn't.
