I wasn't alive when they hit, my mom was pregnant with my older brother at the time. I saw this post and I realized I had forgotten; I sometimes forget until something reminds me. I've only heard stories of those who witnessed it, and they always vividly remembered exactly where they were.
It's events like these and the COVID lockdown (there for that one) where people will always remember what they were doing, it's crazy. Thanks for making respectful posts about current events.
You aren't wrong that many of us who were alive when it happened remembered what were were doing or what was going on that day. However to be honest with you with COVID it hit very different from what happened with 9/11. At least everyone had an idea that COVID was going to happen in a matter of days.
There was no clear warning that people were aware of anything before it all transpired aside from a small group of people who suspected something was going to happen and the group of people who fall into that are few and far in-between. And I'm not talking about the people who sensed something awful was gonna happen in a matter of days like some sixth sense or premonition on what was to come.
I had a chance encounter with one who was at a New Hampshire Wal-Mart once. That account the man speak of, a fairly older African American guy who was either in his late 30's or early 40s told me about a time when worked for someone middle eastern in NYC a few days prior and saw a couple of other guys hide someone with black tarp over his head so no one would see him walking around. That guy suspected that was Bin Laden. The morning after that night he saw that the store owner laid him off only a few days before 9/11 happened.
