Brother and I were getting ready for middle school pacific time..say 6am. Eyes glued to the tv of what just happened in NYC. When all the new outlets preemptively talked about the body count, being late to school was just incidental.
We literally lived 3 blocks from school , yet dad dropped us off given the hysteria .
Everybody talked about it and nothing else .
It was the big bang, the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
The turbulent teenage years started a year later.
