The Johnstown (Pennsylvania) Flood of May 31, 1889
Since a teen, I've researched and read and studied etc. about the Flood. I've visited Johnstown several times.
The many, many aspects of the disaster bring about even more than two distinct emotions for me-- there is anger, inspiration (what some people d for others is amazing), sadness, disappointment, fear, - - probably more emotions, too.
The site of the earthen South Fork Dam at Lake Conemaugh, miles away and up in the mountains from Johnstown, after it failed
The current price of fuel thanks to the pointless war His Royal Orangeness started evokes shock and anger.
It was absolutely a US missile that hit the school, neither Israel nor Iran is armed with Tomahawks - so Trump killed 170 little girls to draw attention away from the growing stack of evidence that he violated dozens of other little girls. As a result, I'm paying $2.60 per liter (not per gallon, per liter).
