9.11.2001

Well, it's a new "most tragic day in America" today. It's also my birthday. Quite strange to try and shuffle the two. Both towers of the WTC were destroyed, the Pentagon was hit, and there are most likely thousands dead. I've been in front of the tv most of the day in a state of disbelief. There have been moments that I've started to really worry about war and further attacks. I still don't think it's sunk in yet. The nations airways are SHUT DOWN. There is not a single airplane in the sky as I write this. That is unfathomable. This is truely a global event. From now on, my birthday will be associated with this catastrophic event. How awkward. My head can't get around all this yet...God, save our nation.
