An amazing recollection of a day that I wasn't alive to see. It's a morbid fascination of a countries response to the worst attack in its history that led me here. The bulk of the attacks being in the city I ended up growing up in with immigrant parents.
I spent my days in school hearing every year where everyone was, but I've never met someone that was there. By reading this book, I feel that I have. By writing this like a dialogue, I could hear everyone speak. I felt what they felt.
The story of Officer Jimeno and Sgt. McLoughlin hit me the hardest because I chose to watch the movie "World Trade Center" and got to SEE their story on the screen. I didn't know they story was about them before putting the movie on.
