On the Irish 9/11

Yeah, this 9/11 took place in 1649 and was highlighted by Oliver Cromwell's brutal attack on the city of Drogheda; an overwhelming storming that resulted in the murder of nearly 4,000 people including priests and friars and the deportation of untold others to Barbados. Of course, this was just the beginning as the British plan from day one was the total subjugation of Ireland (through starvation, banishment, murder, and "transportation") and, so, yeah, it got even nastier. Yay, huh?
