I had CNN on non-stop that whole day. And that was in a college dorm room, where the phone line was not tied up when online. But aside from going online for that assignment my professor had assigned, I just stared at the television and watched for hours.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-83568938841935838102018-09-15T23:18:34.888-05:002018-09-15T23:18:34.888-05:00@CyberKitten - Agreed on the 'harrowing'. ...@CyberKitten - Agreed on the 'harrowing'.

Not positive but I feel like that is somewhat accurate. Hearing those words "Tuesday, September 11th" definitely brought back big emotions for me.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing what we can recall with such clarity? The fact that you remember the book you were discussing in 10th grade - it is like these memories are physically imprinted in a special 'auto-recall' part of our brains. I also agree on it being so huge. I have memories of the Berlin Wall falling and remember seeing the videos of people dancing on top of it (with David Hasselhoff. He's weirdly popular in Germany I guess), but like you I didn't grasp what it MEANT.<br /><br />I did read Let's Roll by Lisa Beamer and I feel kind of bad for saying this, but I really did not like it very much. Something about her struck a negative chord with me and I have never been able to figure out exactly what it is. I mentioned this to my pastor (he went to college at Wheaton with Todd and Lisa Beamer and knew them) and he had nothing bad to say, just that Lisa was not someone he socialized with. He knew Todd also, weren't buddies but acquaintances. <br /><br />I will give the video a watch, thanks for the link. I haven't had a chance to view it yet but will soon - I don't watch any 9/11 videos when she is home, I don't want to traumatize her.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-43593576116578102492018-09-15T22:59:15.815-05:002018-09-15T22:59:15.815-05:00Thank you.Thank you.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-1259350077746369282018-09-15T16:10:42.188-05:002018-09-15T16:10:42.188-05:00I've read novelised explorations of how lives ...I've read novelised explorations of how lives have changed both in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and in the longer term.

We didn't have any TV's in the office area so went online to find out what was happening. Naturally the Internet was overwhelmed that day so I actually had very little information until I got home and watched the whole thing on TV for hours on end........<br /><br />I've never read anything directly about it.

"Tuesday, September 11" has an entirely different impact than any other day of the week can. I was in tenth grade on the day, in a class discussion on The Grapes of Wrath. An aide came in and asked our teacher to step into the hallway, and then when our teacher returned she told us the news. We went to the next period shortly after that, and everyone was speculating what it meant -- World War 3? The Endtimes?. My next class had the television on, and we saw the towers fall, live. That was crushing for me because I had taken some bizaare pride in the fact that the WTC had been hit, but was still standing. This was EASILY the most monumental historical moment I'd experienced: I wasn't really aware of the world when the USSR fell, and nothing else has come close. We didn't really have classe that day, we just sat watching the news (or listening to it, depending on the room). I can still remember that we had hot dogs for supper that night. <br /><br /> The only book I've read on 9-11 has been one about flight 93, that "Let's Roll" biography, but that was YEARS ago. I think I read it during the Bush administration.<br /><br /><br /><br />A few days ago I saw a video posted on reddit of a photojournalist (Mark LaGanga) who approached ground zero immediately after WTC-2 had fallen, but before WTC-1 had. It's 30 minutes, but it's something worth experiencing -- his brief interviews with people, the spectre of Manhattan streets COVERED in ashes, the air filled with smoke, the sirens, the sight of dazed but professional people making sure peoples were evacuated.<br /><br />Link:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpRyhpqJuggStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-75335526287169981812018-09-12T08:00:36.884-05:002018-09-12T08:00:36.884-05:00Thanks for all these reviews.
