(This may sound very strange to some of you, but growing up a comic book fan, for me on 9/11 I Realized that Superman was not real. I know Right? 29 years old.. and as I watched the 1st tower fall, I cried and thought to myself; "where is Superman?????" for me as well as the rest of the world it was the end of an innocence.)
At 11:45pm last night I was very aware of what the date was as I sat in the SL 9/11 memorial. I had been sitting there for an hour watching the creator set out prim recreations of the twin towers, put up signs of NYFD and NYPD. It was my intention to go there and get the story. I wanted to Interview the Memorial's parcel owner and builder and get his feelings about today. but as my SLT drew closer to midnight.. I could not help but be overcome and only concerned with my feelings. As I sat there in the 11th hour of the 11th anniversary of the greatest tragedy in American history, as i watched the random visitors arrive and express their appreciation for the memorial, I could not help but weep as I did that morning. As an American. As a human I still to this day can not get over what happened. My sadness is only multiplied when I think of those who actually lost someone on this day. So instead of doing a story about the Second Life memorial, I decided to do the only thing I feel that we or any other news organization should do and that is Honor those who were lost on this day...
