9/11/08

Anniversary

MSNBC is replaying their coverage from the morning of 9/11. I'm watching now and they've got an eyewitness to the first impact, and it's before the second, and I know that it's about to get much much much worse, and I can't turn away.

...maybe I should mention that this is the first time I'm seeing this. In 2001, when this happened, I was taking an early morning class, and anyway didn't have a television. I remember that one of my students stopped by my office hours at about 11am to ask if she could miss class. She wanted to try to get in touch with her brother, who worked at the World Trade Center. To this day, I'm shocked that she asked for permission.
