that night (it was evening in australia) when the towers stood smouldering my mind was going crazy thinking about the implications,
but then my 'entire self' twisted and choked when they collapsed,
the collapse was the event, it was not secondary to the event
Remember all the news reports about the psychological studies they were doing, the psyche impact on children...business people, ordinary folks?
The image of 9/11 is partly 175 seering through WTC2...yes.
But 9/11 IS 9/11, because of the total collapses, and Godzilla movie like panic run of the people...with the "holy fucking shit" collective cries and screams.
IF 9/11 had merely been the planes hitting, it would be JUST like it was before the second tower fell: gawkers and onlookers on their cellphones,
having a little looksy before walking home to watch reruns of Seinfeld and Friends.
There is just something so surreal when you think back to when you saw the towers collapse...it's on the level if say a UFO landed on the White House lawn. Like "this can't be happening". Where are the towers? It's a psychological anomaly to think two giant icons are no longer there.
