A Day of Reflection

I sat at my desk, preparing a memo for my boss and chugging coffee, just like I did every day.  The sound of distressed voices carried down to my desk in the basement, followed by an unsettling murmur that swept through the office.

One of the attorneys came in and told me that a plane struck the World Trade Center in New York.  We stared at each other in disbelief, and I immediately went online to try to figure out what was going on.  But events were unfolding too quickly for even Internet news to catch up.

And that was just the beginning, ten years ago, on the morning of September 11, 2001.
