I've spent a little time today watching the stuff about 9/11 on tv. I think it's important to take the time to be reverent and humble about it.
The thing that gets me every time are the phone calls that people made to their loved ones from the planes or inside the buildings. They knew that their planes were hijacked and that something terrible was going to happen to them. I can't imagine leaving that kind of voicemail or having that last conversation. How in the world do you convey how you feel in that moment? All of them sound surprisingly calm, as if they were already resigned to their fate. They all were definitely braver than I would be.
