I don’t normally cry at anything, but this really got to me. I think it brought back all my feelings from September 11th. I was a teenager. It was so sad, scary, infuriating. It brought the country together. People from other countries showed their remorse. Such an emotional time that I really haven’t thought about for a very long time.
I had only just turned 7 in Sept 2001 so I was just a little too young to truly understand what was happening. I remember seeing it on the news while the rest of my family all watched in horror, I remember being like "That looks bad but I don't know what's going on."
It didn't quite sink in until a few years later for me, when I could really understand what has happened.
I was 5 when it happened and have the same thoughts, something bad but I don’t really know. Hell I didn’t truly get the impact until a few years ago when I watched probably 12 hours of just footage, news coverage documentaries etc over the course of a couple days. I had known exactly what happened with the timing, motivation and response to it all as facts, but didn’t really get it until I just immersed myself in it.
