One of my college housemates barged into my room and woke me up with "dude you need to turn on your tv". "What channel?" "It doesn't matter...".

TV warms up in time to see a replay of the second plane hitting.

I was groggy and said "woah good effects... what movie is this?".

The guy (who was rarely serious) looked me in the eye and said "this is real".

The world changed that day, in ways we're still figuring out.
