My son (9) is reading the 9/11 entry from this series. https://www.laurentarshis.com/i-survived

I was a senior in high school, and the building went on lockdown after the first plane hit. I'll also never forget halftime of the Titans game that year. We were supposed to perform, but got word early that morning that our show was being superceded by an announcement. Being 17 at the time, I remember making a statement about how the announcement was probably something like Bush reporting we were bombing the f* out of Afghanistan. 3 hours later, and that's exactly what happened. The reality 18 years later is clearly far more complicated, but back then, it helped.
