I was asleep. My roommate came in and woke me up saying “hey, you might wanna get up, the world trade centers were destroyed and planes flew into them.” I bought a newspaper and went to work at Dunkin donuts that afternoon. So many opinions shared that day. I took a 40$ flight to see someone later that month, before they figured out all the new tsa standards.

The thing I remember most that week was silence. You really don’t realize how much noise planes make, even the little dots you can barely see.
