Remember 9/11.

[Sijray21]

i still remember the day as it were yesterday

i feel incredibly sorry for anyone affected by the tragedy, but it really brought americans together in a sense of nationalism i've never seen before. Along with the mass paranoia and additional security i still think that the outcome was positive. And if any one has traveled outside of the US you'll know just how safe you feel in our borders or on US soil compared to other countries.

my mom actually told me about how she was stuck on washington blvd, just west of the pentagon crash site and felt a huge boom only to find a ball of fire in her rear-view mirrors. I was very relieved to find that she was alright, but her description of the explosion was pretty detailed.
