Where were you? 9Eleven remembered

Sep 5

Over the past 100 years, only a few events have been powerful enough to sear the national consciousness, to create a universal sense of tragedy and loss: Pearl Harbor, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and September 11. Whatever your age, your career, or your politics, it simply isn't possible to forget where you were the day terrorism struck home. Here, locals look back on America's second "day of infamy."
