Some details have faded, but I recall being paranoid about one of my sisters who worked in Sears Tower at the time (rumors were flying all over about attacks likely to get in every major city).

And like someone below, it's attached to a memory that feels very anachronistic - the weekend prior, hammered during welcome week, I nearly missed my flight to Seattle for the Washington game. I got a ride from my house on Mary and was dropped off maybe 15 minutes before the doors closed, but with limited security (and luck) made the flight with minutes to spare.

In Bates hall. My roommate was watching tv and tower 1 had just fallen. He called me in the bedroom and we watched tower 2 go down live. - By Lodz September 11, 2026 at 09:10:35 AM
