9/11

Where were you when?

I was in San Juan, about to head to the airport for a flight back to California, I was about to call a cab when I saw the second plane hit the second tower. I instantly realized that we were at war, and that there was no point in going to the airport.

But twenty-two years on, we seem to have forgotten it ever happened.

Glenn Reynolds remembers, and he’s angry. So am I.

9/11 is a memorial to repeated and ongoing FBI failures, which which no one is ever held accountable.
