Aftermath

I've been reading accounts of the plane that crashed in the building in Manhattan today. A building not so close, but not that far, from my office. I wasn't anywhere near New York on September 11, but today I got a very slim idea of what it must have been like. It was scary. It's extremely rare that I feel this way, but today I wanted cable TV so that I could turn on CNN, and Fox News and see what was happening. Yes, I could read everything on the Internet, see videos there, and watch the network news stations, but I wanted more. I wanted constant info. And for me, who is just not that into current events (though I am aware of what's going on in the world), it's a big thing to want to watch every second of it. I was shaken today.
