I don't terribly enjoy re-commemorating 9/11 on an annual basis, but there seems to be a greater focus on it today than last year, and I'd be remiss not to solemnly nod in assent.
This page was and still is a destination for people seeking individual stories about the event. There are two:
My blog posts about the event, September 11-23, 2001
Adam Oestreich's first-person account, September 12, 2001
Adam's story still receives thousands of page views annually.
