I feel like I should say something about the fifth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks.
Flipping through the TV, skimming through the radio, leafing through the paper … there’s so much being said, some too tragic to listen to, some to blatently manipulative to bear.
The one thing I heard that brought it all home — was, ironically, a replay of the coverage.
This morning, after I got up, I had the TV on — and MSNBC was rerunning their coverage of that morning. And, as I watched, just off-camera, the second plane plowed into the WTC …
The fear, the uncertainty, the violence of that morning — authentic in a way that five years later cannot be recalled.
