I was 7. Don’t remember too much. I know we were let out of school early. Got home, the TV was on the news. I thought it was a movie. That didn’t happen in real life, right? Explosions in real buildings? Real planes flying into real buildings? Real buildings crumbling, with real people inside? My 7 year old mind couldn’t comprehend it. Even when my shaking mom tried to explain what was happening and why my dad, who flew for the Coast Guard, had to leave for a while—the weight of what happened that day didn’t click til years later.
So many ordinary people living their ordinary lives, just going to work or traveling—none of them woke up that day thinking later on they might have to chose between dying by fire and smoke or jumping to their deaths in a desperate bid for relief.
Such a terrible, terrible day.
