Crazy day. I remember it pretty well.
My kids were 5 and 3 at the time.

I remember a few days after 9/11, I was driving with them in the backseat, when a fire truck came toward us with lights and sirens going. I said something like, "Hey y'all, look. There's a fire truck." And my five year-old boy responded, with a tremor in his voice, "Are the bad guys going to hurt us now Daddy?"

Broke my heart.
:cry:

That's very sad that it did that to your children.

It's exactly what those rats who did it were looking to do. Cause terror.

I was 28 and visiting a bunch of my college freinds who were living in Brooklyn at the time...early days of Williamsburg before it got popular and hipster.
We watched from the rooftop of their apartment building which was on the edge of the east river with the Williamsburg bridge basically a block to the left

Nice platitude, but it does seem to have changed who we are.
Fear is the mind killer. We are not afraid.
