A Perspective: REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11th
The approaching anniversary of September 11th looms over us
the way the Towers did as we approached them. Here in California,
many lost loved ones that day, but we are otherwise physically
isolated from the events. And in that fact is the answer to
how we should cover it: don't remember the day-remember the
people.
Contemplate Todd Beamer and the passengers of Flight 93, who
prevented what might have been the most heinous part of the
September 11th plot. Remember the television engineers who could
not escape from the North Tower's TV transmitter.
Think of my friend Ronni, who ran for her life ahead of the
dust storms of the collapsing Trade Center buildings- I hope
her nightmares have abated. Have compassion for my mom, who
looked out her window that morning and saw WTC 1 vanish from
the skyline in a billowing, gray cloud. She is 80.
This story is found in 2002 where it will always be found: in
the souls of each one of us. A story not with two or three sides,
but with 265 million!
