September 13, 2001: A caravan of ambulances moving very slowly, toward the morgue at Roosevelt Hospital.
Wow... how awful.
Of course I don't live in NYC, but I remember being in mid-town around St. Patrick's Cathedral after 9/11/01 a couple of times. Seemed like every day, there was a funeral for a member of the FDNY or NYPD. Black shrouds at every fire house, American flags taped to every shop and apartment window, posters of the missing everywhere... Unreal.
