Where could you have helped out? That day you would have just been one more body in the way of first responders and rescue workers. I know being helpless is a terrible feeling, but its something that we all have to feel and accept at one point or another. We all should have done something.. but that something should have come after rather than during. You also forget that the NYC subway/bus and bridge system was shut down for most of the day after those planes hit, so unless you planned on running and then swimming, you were pretty much stuck. So when all else fails, it never hurts to be well informed. All I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't feel guilty for not doing anything, because in all reality there wasn't much you could do. There wasn't much anyone could do. I myself couldn't believe it was 5 years later. I too had class that day, and i went not believing what was happening... If I'd had more than one that day, I'd have said fuck it too... I want to type more, but I have to go back to work. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on at some point in time. Stay strong john, Chris John,
