Remember 911

Hard to believe it's been 13 years.

I still remember the exact moment I heard about this.

I was in my car after dropping off my oldest son at school.

It was 8:30am CDT, and I hadn't been watching/listening to the news earlier, but now had the car radio on. As I'm listening someone is saying, "and now there's a report that the Pentagon has been hit."

Got home and turned on the TV. Saw the images, called my dad and grandmother. I remember feeling like our way of life was ending. I'm glad I was wrong.

All air traffic that morning was told to land immediately. I had gone outside and remember seeing airlines (most likely headed to CHI) that I'd never seen land at MSP.

I really wanted to visit Ground Zero last year. As an American I felt compelled to get there and extend my condolences. They've really created a beautiful memorial.

On another note, Paul Simon's performance a few years back of 'Sound Of Silence' at GZ was the perfect tribute.

Today is my 15^th anniversary. An easy day to remember, happy and sad at the same time.

All these years later I am just now seeing this. There was so much ⁹⁄₁₁ coverage in the days/weeks following that horror that I didn't see this one and I didn't know that New Zealand had done something similar as well.

I've never looked for anything from that day and as I was getting the video I just posted I see that there are so many videos, most of them contain a graphic content warning. I clicked on one and it was footage of people jumping. I can tell by how close everyone is to the towers that no one has a clue that they are going to come down.
