I think people who didn’t experience it have no idea how truly momentous it was. I remember no one really knew what was going on. When I went home, there were still rumors that we were under a sustained attack.
I remember everyone hoarding gas. The stations were packed. My cousin actually got in a fight at one.
Doesn’t seem possible it’s been that long ago.

Same here. Shortly after the second tower fell they closed the office and advised us to get the hell out of the Loop. Made the trek to Union Station as quickly as possible, going out of my way to avoid nearby Sears Tower. Getting on the train home was pure pandemonium; reminded me of the leaving Paris scene from Casablanca. Shoved my way into a packed vestibule right before the doors closed.
