Seven Years

It’s hard to believe that it has already been seven years since that terrible morning in 2001. I’ve blogged about how I spent that day in an edit bay, editing footage from the scene that was feeding in from Washington, New York and Pennsylvania.  I’ve talked about watching interview after...

Repeating History

After September 11th

Patrick9/11LifeTerrorism
Well, there has certainly been a great deal of reaction to my earlier essay on the families of 9/11 victims and the continual search for blame. Whether you agreed or disagreed with my original idea, the responses were lucid and respectful, and that is always appreciated. I wanted to follow...
