I remember it really well. That being said, I don’t think that I understood what it meant because I think I thought that 9/11 was a plane crash. And obviously plane crashes are very tragic but they’re not the same thing as what it actually was. And I don’t think that I understood what terrorism was or why, you know, such a thing would ever happen… but later that day when I saw my mom watching the news, calling my dad incessantly, I think that was when it started to hit that it was something very scary.
Hey there! Before you go, please take a moment to support Inkstick Media.
As the first and only foreign policy outlet written explicitly by and for a broader, younger, and more diverse audience, Inkstick offers new views on the big, emergent questions and debates that typically are discussed behind closed doors in Washington DC, in elite diplomatic circles, and the halls of think tanks. Quite simply: Inkstick is foreign policy for the rest of us.
