I left in the middle of the day because I had to get away from the news (yeah, right). I went to a small deli near my house and the TV had on Univision or Telemundo or some other Spanish station. They were showing the footage of people landing, over and over again, different shots of different people falling and landing, right at street level. They left the sound on. For the rest of my life I will never forget that. I must have been standing there for five minutes before some stranger put her arms around me and told me to look away. It was only then I realized I'd been sobbing like a baby the whole time.
