[quote=Anonymous]I had gotten up that morning to do some kind of exercise class that was aired early in the morning on one of the networks. Part way into the class the news interrupted the regular programming and reported on how (they thought at the time) a small plane had accidentally hit the first tower. I watched in horror for hours. At one point I heard hammering so I went downstairs to see where the noise was coming from. A neighbor of mine was hanging his American flag on the side of the big house we all shared. I had graduated from college four months earlier and our commencement speaker was Walter Isaacson, who told us we were inheriting the country in its longest stretch of peacetime in US history and implored us to put that gift to good use. A few months later that peacetime was gone. I’m not sure it has ever come back. [/quote]
