Fox’s report on the commuter plane said it was an eyewitness report. Obviously a near-sighted eye witness.
I was in MA and retired for a few years, so just sat there and watched for days straight, changing tapes. Called my childhood next door neighbor, with whom I’d just reconnected, and he was at work in NYC, just needing to get home. He’d been a rescue pilot in the Coast Guard during Nam and all he could think about was his son at school.
Life just stopped, turned upside down, and you felt it might never turn rightside up again. Now it feels like you had to have been sitting there to still remember. It’s become inconvenient.
If you’re on the street and you look up at a plane at the 80th floor, the plane might seem like a commuter plane. That is a long way up.
I was glued to the TV for a few weeks. There was a South Park episode where all the adults were watching the news for months after while the kids went about their lives. It wasn’t far from reality. It took a while to absorb. We were under attack in America.
