Those older than me can tell you where they were when it happened.
I can safely say I was crawling around in ignorant bliss, not even ten months old.
A mere two hundred and sixteen leagues away, a couple thousand people were not so fortunate. The western world watched in horror as they jumped to avoid the flames.
Twenty-two years later and it still remains the most devastating attack on US soil. 9/11 is shockingly uncontroversial except for a couple of fringe types and edgy internet comedians, it seems that most of us can agree that it was a horrific act.

4 AntwortenSenior year of high school. For those too young to remember it's hard to understand just how angry and hurt people were. We were in Virginia but several local EMTs were called up to NY to help out. From what they said it was less helping and more sifting the rubble for parts. Not bodies, parts. Had several friends enlist as a result of the attack. Most came back. Some came back in boxes. A few never came back at all.
