For four weeks, I was in an editing room watching the planes hit over and over and over again. I see people covered in ash, running from the crumbling towers. I hear the cries of families desperately seeking any word of their loved one. And I remember seeing shots of a soot covered wing-tipped shoe in the rubble, a charred family photo that once sat on someone's desk in the towers. These images are imprinted forever in my brain. I hear the screams and the crying today.

Did you ever feel like you were getting desensitized to it? Sometimes that's how I felt afterwords. I mean for weeks after, all the news stations could show, over and over, were the planes hitting and the towers falling. I hate to say this, but eventually I was yelling at the TV because I couldn't stand watching it anymore.
