9/11 - Where Were You?
Every generation has that one defining moment in time, that singular event that marks the passing of time forever more, that one moment that later shines brilliant in the darkness of memory because you know, you knew at that moment, that this day you would remember for the rest of your life. For older generations, that day may have been the day U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Or perhaps it was the day that civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed. For some, it was the day that Pearl Harbor was bombed. For others, the day the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. For my generation, that day was was September 11, 2001.
I just posted about my September 11th memories, if you are interested.

Terrifying... Moira, an interesting way to present the haunting images for our generation juxtaposed with those of generations past--thanks for that.
Wow! That section from E.B. White is chilling! Especially this part:
"A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions. The intimation of mortality is part of New York now: in the sound of jets overhead, in the black headlines of the latest edition."
That's pretty wild that was written in 1949!
Very impressive collection!
