Remembering September 11th

I was 17 years old the day the world stopped turning. Old enough to fully comprehend the magnitude of the events, and young enough to be completely traumatized. Naive enough to believe they would find more survivors, that those firemen I watched run into the towers would come rising out of the ashes, heroes of a narrow escape. Scared as we watched the entire thing unfold, just as the second plane hit. Shocked, like everyone else, and then joining the thousands of people trying to reach loved ones as we waited to hear news of our cousin Doug's survival in the Pentegon. Watching Dan Rather cry on live tv, news anchors breaking down as they reported, watching that smoke for days, Manhatten covered in dust, taking in the faces, the hundreds, then thousands of missing faces.......that day, that day I can never forget. This video is at once a tribute and a memory. I chose the newscasts I specifically remembered. Like the boy discovered in Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close....it is a day one can never make sense of....
