Terrorism in the Subways

Hearing about the terrorist threats today in the New York Subway system, in stations that I regularly frequent, makes me feel more like a New Yorker, and has given me more of a realization of what New Yorkers went through during 9-11.

9-11 was horrible and terrifying, but for someone who never set eyes on the Twin Towers, it didn't hit me the way it did so many other people from this area. I am not comparing the threats that were going on today to that horrific experience, but I do feel more of a connection to what people who lived here in 2001 felt. I understand a little bit (just a little) how scarred people were from it.

New York is starting to become a part of me.
