I Remember “Mom did you just see that‚ a plane just fell from the sky.” While I sat on the floor I couldn’t believe what I had just said. A plane fell from the sky. I had just turned six a few hours ago. Any child who was basically five years old would never be able to grasp the concept of why a plane would crash into a building.

Bayezid I- (r.1389-1402) Ottoman ruler who started to besiege Constantinople in 1395.

As a police officer I was an obvious target and was baited whenever
