"I remember walking home from campus when a roommate told me a small plane had crashed into the World Trade Center; by the time I turned on the TV both towers were on fire and it was obvious this was far more than a single accident. In the days and weeks after September 11th I felt in my bones that nothing would ever be the same — there was a pre-9/11 world and a post-9/11 world — and the event changed how Americans viewed the world, leaving a sense of lost innocence." - Matthew Kepnes
