Someone who wasn't alive at the time simply will not be able to understand how totally it took over all of culture and identity.
I have a vivid memory of a girl I knew coming to school with red white and blue clothes and wearing U.S. flag facepaint while she walked around sobbing, this was on the west coast and I'm almost positive she knew no one who was there.
I remember being on sites like Neopets, and they were full of people drawing pictures of their digital animal characters saluting the American flag while a single tear drifts down their face. It was utterly bizarre.
rapidly folding dollar bills in front of my child like i'm in 4th grade again to recreate the experience of being 9 when 9/11 happened :pepe-silvia: :rust-darkness: :stalin-smokin: :pannekoek-point:
Unless gay-jesus-probably is from Gander or something I don't know what to say.
Why specifically a small village in Newfoundland? Or are you talking about somewhere else?
Gander became famous on 9/11 because of the sheer number of flights it took in once we closed our airspace. People were like, taking airline passengers into their homes for dinner and shit. I know we're all irony-pilled around here but Gander genuinely made the world a better place in a time that looked pretty bleak for a lot of people.
