I think 9/11 is the most defining day of my life. I was 18 at the time, working in a warehouse. I started there straight after high school. I remember a truck coming in to unload, and the driver telling me that the USA was going to make whoever did that a "glass ing parking lot". I still remember that.
Anyway, I woke up that morning to my mom yelling for us to turn on CNN. And then I saw the second plane hit live. I think that is when everyone began to realize that this was no accident. But I hardly think a single soul was able to predict, even then, what would transpire from that morning.
A very sad day for humanity. We all changed because of it. Some for the better, and some for the worse.
