What I remember most about this date is not so much what happened 21 years ago. I was at work and, well, though we got some updates and the television stayed on in the break room, I had work to do.
No, what I remember most is the silence of the following days, when we stepped out in the smoking area and no longer heard airplanes, either approaching Philadelphia International right across the river from us or making their way to other destinations as higher altitudes.
That silence stays with me.
I also remember my boss’s saying, more than once, “I’m glad we have a Texan as president.”
Boy, how wrong he was.
