Stone's Opus
Oliver Stone has made a movie about a group of NYC policemen on 9/11. If the trailer is any indication of what the rest of the movie is like, take some kleenex.
Even though it's been almost five years, I still think of that morning every day. The phone call from Peter, the panic to call my brother in D.C., waiting to hear from my other brother who was trying to fly home from Chicago, my inability to do anything but stare at the television for the rest of the day. Millions of other people had the same feeling that day, or at least I assume they did.
I'll be interested to see how we handle the fifth anniversary this September.

Mark watched the whole thing from the roof of his Brooklyn loft, with a clear view of the TT.
You know, its one thing to see it on TV; to see the replays over and over and over again. And then we can turn it off. So what I guess I will remember most about that morning, is knowing that Mark was SUPPOSED to be right there, but instead, he has the images of the worst national tragedy of our generation burned in his memory forever. Those replays don't stop and start like your DVR... they come and go as they please, and I know it affects him.
