Remembering
Published on September 11, 2004
Today is the 11th of September. As I have each year, I went back and read a few of the original posts around the web as this day unfolded, three years ago. While no match for the images and video that exist, the comments on this meta filter post, added as the hours minutes unfolded, bring back the memories just the same.
There are no words.“This was no accident. No way.”
“Wait a second, TWO? Two?”
“My skin is absolutely crawling.”
“Bridges & tunnels are closed, subway shut down, all three NYC airports shut down.”
“The Whitehouse has been evacuated.”
“Shit Shit Shit”
“Only one World Trade Center building is left standing”
“cnn just announced that part of the pentagon collapsed”
“The other tower just collapsed.”
“Lower manhattan is being evacuated”
“I am shaking. There are no words.”
