September Tuesday
A recollection of Tuesday, September 11, 2001 and the days following
Regular day
Infamous day
Crisp air
Ill winds
Secure feelings
Insecure borders
Box cutters
Jet missiles
Lower Manhattan
Northern Virginia
Pennsylvania field
America’s soul
The impossible
Inexplicably possible
Twisted metal
Smoldering rubble
Evil acts
Shining courage
Jihad plotting
“Let’s roll.”
Grieving families
Guilt-ridden friends
Politicians’ speeches
Rescuers’ heroics
Common people
Uncommon valor
All Jennings
No Leno
Learning Al-Qaeda
Re-learning terrorism
Al-Jazeera’s images
W’s bullhorn
“The Pile”
The patriotism
Churches full
Stadiums silent
Rock tributes
Country anthems
Candlelight vigils
Sidewalk memorials
American flags
American tears
Two parties
One nation
Above all
Under God
Many cultures
Indivisible
Twenty years
Another era
