Did you live in DC on 9/11? I did. And while that card often gets played, there was, indeed, something very real there that day, for many people. Collectively and individually.
i wasn't in DC then, actually - i was a senior in college in massachusetts.
when i lived in NOVA late last year, i remember driving on 395 past the pentagon and thinking, "my god, people were driving right here when that plane hit." how did they have any mental apparatus for that? watching a plane descend into a building, in real time?
i wondered how many car crashes there were at that moment.

ReplyDeleteI love that song. LOVE it. I used to listen to it all the time...I think I may have to redownload it.
