I am wondering what you all think:
by Glynis
Did people who live in the NYC area feel more pain after 9/11 than the rest of the country? I am not talking about those people who were actually IN the city during the attacks, but people who live in the suburbs. Did they get affected more by this attack than someone in Los Angeles?
I never really thought about this before because I was so deeply affected by the attacks and I was living near Seattle. As far as I was concerned, they attacked the whole country~ not a city. And let us not forget that planes went down in DC and PA. Do the people in the East think that the people in the West don't think about this on a daily basis? That the people in the South aren't afraid to go on a plane or to the top of a tall building?
For that fact, did they only attack the USA... or did they attack all westernized countries that day? Do Canadians and Europeans feel like they were also attacked in a sense? By making all of us feel like "it could have been my city that they struck" did the terrorists strike all of us by putting fear into our minds?
What are your thoughts? Do the 9/11 attacks still affect you everyday, or have you moved on?
