My dad was in midtown that day, said his most vivid recollection was seeing fighter jets flying over 5th ave. I just feel lucky he was ok, I know of too many people from my community that can’t say the same.
For me, I can laugh at a stupid joke, but I definitely don’t make any around here in NJ for that reason.
I know it has been 24 years but it is still too soon for me to like 9/11 jokes.
Worked in NYC at the time and had to keep going back after the towers fell.
I’m sorry you had to go through that, I wouldn’t wish it on anybody

My coworker’s brother worked in a restaurant near the top floor of one of the towers. He unsuccessfully tried to contact his brother all day.
I likewise have some wounds that are too raw to joke about, probably ever again if I’m honest.
