I lived in N.Y.C. at that time but was in Detroit to bury my uncle, a decorated hero of the Pacific theatre. https://nedmcdletters.blogspot.com/2011/09/tenth-of-september-2001.html The day itself was hard to shake; I still get chills when I see a clip of that second plane crashing into the other tower. https://nedmcdletters.blogspot.com/2011/09/tenth-of-september-2001.html EDIT: starting the days after, the day of ignominy has haunted me ever since. https://nedmcdletters.blogspot.com/2011/09/12th-13th-of-september-2001.html

They kept showing it, in a loop. I was in Paris. French radio/TV flew a team to New York for a week to keep on-the-spot despatches going. Whenever they gave us the time, they gave us the time in NY as well.
