"It sounded like a bomb. A real bomb," said Theresa Delelalio, 92.
"We saw the second plane hit, and honestly, when I came out here and I saw the bomb squad and everybody out here, it kind of brought back a bad memory to me. It's quite frightening when something like this happens,"
Was she delusional? Or is this just stupid reporting?
I trust the new media, no matter from whatever rock they may have crawled out from under.

Sloppy speaking, being a little TOO colloquial. Person saying that since they saw the second plane hit on 9/11, the explosion today brought back that memory. Expressing that certain sense of shellshock from 9/11.
Maybe she meant she saw on TV.

Poor writing, and an attempt to use a direct quote where an editorial voice would've sounded better, I'd say. This 92-year-old woman probably meant to convey that she remembered when the second plane hit the WTC, and then when this explosion happened today, the reaction to it reminded her of what she remembered seeing on 9/11.
Yeah, dry run ... a Wake the Vote! Wake the Vote! dry run.
