That pretty much sums up my thoughts except I'd include the ghosts of those who died, too, in the hope that they have moved on by now. One of my strongest memories is watching the newscasters struggle to get a label for the events, a shortcut for future reference. They tried so many and then began drifting toward calling it "nine eleven". And hearing the bits of reporting you knew, were certain, would be scrubbed from future newscasts as they retold the story. Without scripts the poor dears were confused as to what they should say or not say. And the silence in the sky because commercial aircraft were grounded was the background music for it all.
