It changed my life in that I no longer feel as safe as I did before 9/11. I just back from a trip to Florida and being at the airport is a grim reminder as security procedures are to be adhered to. Before 9/11, I used to worry about the plane crashing as I am still not thrilled with flying. After 9/11, a small part of me becomes more concerned about whether someone is going to blow-up the plane.

Can we ever feel to be totally safe again?

On 9/11, I was in work before 8AM and didn't hear anything about it until my son called me at 11:00AM to informed me he was alright. I said, "why wouldn't you be alright? He then informed what happened and I was dazed the rest of the day and getting updates to see if he made it out of the city.
He was working in the basement of a building three blocks away and they heard an explosion. The building shook. All three co-workers looked at each other and said, "what was that". He left the building immediately and saw the first plane sticking out of the building. He started to walk uptown. As he was walking, the second plane hit. When he saw the amount of debris in the air, he started running.

It makes me angry and sad to have to look at the New York skyline and not see the Twin Towers.

My nephew is dating a woman who lost her husband on 9/11. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her two young daughters today.
