9/11
Posted 11:55 p.m., Sept. 11, 2004

I did the spots today from Ground Zero for WCCO Radio as promised, and I hope some of you heard them this morning. It was an emotional event for me and for my girlfriend, to be present at the site of the 9/11 disaster, even just to get a gauge on the enormity of the destruction. As part of my reporting for WCCO, I interviewed several people at the scene, though I stopped as the names of the relatives began to be read, so as not to interrupt people possibly hearing their loved ones commemorated.
Just before that, one encounter really encapsulated the experience for me at Ground Zero: I approached a young man sitting on the pavement with his girlfriend, to ask him why he'd come to the third 9/11 anniversary ceremony. He didn't answer at first, just held his hands, palms up, in the direction of the hole where the Twin Towers once stood. "That's why," was all he could say before he began to weep.
I will write out my impressions of what I experienced more completely at a later time.
