My birthday is September 10. September 11 2001 happened. While I'm not directly affected, it messed me up mentally because I thought I had something to do with it. It didn't help that the year after, I saw Space Shuttle Columbia on the launch pad in what would be its final mission.
Born Sep 14 and also saw Challenger when it launched and subsequently blew up. I remember when Columbia smeared itself across Texas. 9/11 was three days before my 21st birthday. Put a damper on that one.
Hey we’re birthday buddies! Same I was wondering if anyone else was going to post 9/11 in this thread, and here we are.
