This day is a very sad day for me. I'm a native New Yorker from the Bronx. I grew up seeing the lower Manhattan skyline and visiting the old World Trade Center towers.
The day before that tragic event of September 11, 2001, I was at the old Yankee Stadium to see the New York Yankees face their bitter rivals, the Boston Red Sox. The game wasn't played due to a huge rain storm that drenched the field and left massive puddles on the outfield grass. It seemed likely to be the most significant event of the week.
