Very interesting story. That was a traumatic day for many around the world and certainly those who lived near the devastation and had friends and family members that perished.

When the NYT started printing tributes to those that died that day I started reading them, every word. I found that it was difficult to do anything else each day until I had read all the profiles. I have no explanation for this compulsion other than it was my way of paying a very insignificant tribute to all those lost that day. When the tributes were completed, I found myself going back and reading some that were most memorable.

I still go back and search them out periodically, can't explain why. Since I was actually headed to LGA (from my home in CT) that day for an 11AM flight to Toronto and my son was flying charter helicopter flights into NY city that day, it all hits very close to home. I'm sure there are a million++ memories such as mine.

I pray we never experience another day that rivals Sept 11, 2001.
