Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

I remember every moment of the fateful day (and the months after)– the way the air smelled and stung my eyes; the way NYers everywhere were in “help” mode, but couldn’t figure out how or where to do it; The way we were in a collective state of anxiety. The feelings of loss and uncertainty. And the welcome kindness of strangers.
