Top 10 Saddest Deaths of 2001
2001 was definitely one of the saddest years in history due to how so many people have died (especially in horrifying disasters such as 9/11 and the earthquake in Gujarat, India). Let's hope that all these innocent lives are in heaven now and let's also never forget the tragedies that happened in 2001.For this list I'll be including more famous deaths, but you are free to add whoever deserves a place on here (especially the ones who died in the tragedies I've mentioned before). R.I.P. to all these people.
