Here's a thing about all this. If you lived thru 9/11 in the US, this is a staggering, frightening and disorienting (if totally different) scenario. I can try to understand how people in other countries, or even Americans abroad, felt then, but it's not the same as it was being here.
I think I have to leave this thread alone after the comparisons and info and everything that all have been sharing.
Take care of yourselves, all.
