Here is a small collage from the Memorial to those lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
After years of trying, my former college roommate finally talked me into visiting him in New York City. It was my first ever trip to The Big Apple. I swear we walked over every mile of Manhattan in just four days!

It was pretty significant. You could definitely feel it. It was particularly freaky on the roof deck, which got closed if it was too windy. On 9/11, lots of people tried to call others. The cell phone antenna were mostly all on one of the towers. No service...
I was working on the ground floor of a three-story building in suburban Toronto that day. My mother phoned me up in almost a panic and said she thought I should go home because the terrorists might crash a plane into the building. Bad as things were, I had to reassure her that I felt our building was probably pretty far down on the list. "Home" for me, by the way, was an 18-story apartment building... logic deserts people in emotional moments like that.
I lived in Minneapolis at the time, and the city closed the IDS tower and the Mall Of America. I just shook my head and said they were not politically significant targets.
I was at work, and someone had a TV on, so we watched from just after the first plane hit. It was... terrifying
