Also, there is something about watching the tragedy unfold on the news, gasping at the new

They're going rerun the actual Today Show or some show like that today, that aired back then. It's crazy. I can't believe it has been 5 years.

It must have been hard seeing the smoke, that would have been enough to make me sick inside.

I know what you mean. I was in English class. I really hate thinking about it all.

The stories of the people you know are scary. I don't know anyone involved, but there were rumors that day that people were being held hostage in Portland, a city about an hour away from me. And of course we didn't get out of school, so that was scary. The terrorists stopped at a Key Bank in Portland, it's so surreal to see the security images in the paper. It's so scary.

Have a good but not too sad 9/11.

God, I love Jon Stewart. That was awesome. Not only what he said, but that he was emotional on national television. Rather than talking about how bad everything is, he focused on the good, which is nice. And he was right. For an instant, we DID stop hating one another, and we helped one another. We stopped judging people by the color of their skin, and we just helped one another
