I was not living in the United States at the time, and I can tell you that the events of 9/11 impacted people around the world, some more than even for some in the United States. One woman I met a year after the event in Prague refused to fly in an airplane because of what she saw on her television that day. Another person in London told me that they were afraid to be away from the television or radio for months for fear of missing hearing some piece of critical news because he missed the 9/11 news as it happened. Odd, but trauma like this impacts everyone. It’s what we do with our lives afterwards that truly defines courage.
Thanks.
