Kansas City Star relates
9/11 remembrance.
Five years after terrorists slammed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans will pause today to remember the day terrorism changed their lives.
Observances in New York, Washington, Shanksville, Pa., and scores of other places across the nation will recall the day that, according to new surveys, continues to have a profound effect on the lives of ordinary Americans.
“It’s still very, very sad,” said Anton Kozick of Brooklyn as he stared Sunday at the gaping hole where the World Trade Center used to be. “It’s definitely changed our thinking in how we’re seeing things. Think back to the day before all this started — it didn’t exist, all this business about terrorism.”
