September 21st: Westgate Mall Attack in Africa (2013)

A group banning together for a common goal can be both horrifying and heartwarming. On September 21st 2013 four men walked into a mall in Africa and, together, committed a truly heinous massacre. But, on the other side of that, were groups of civilians who, coming together with their own common goal, saved countless lives in the midst of absolute chaos.
