I was going to start my first day of University that day, my dad had woke me up saying the planes had gone nuts and flown into the twin towers in NYC. I thought I'd just drank too much the night before and was still dreaming and went back to sleep. Next plane hit and I really had to wake up then.
Looking back, 2001 was reaching to the height of American influence and power. Now it seems like the US is a tired and bankrupt country teetering on economic self destruction. End of the American century? Sad how things have declined so much for them.
