14 years since the worst terrorist attack on our soil. People's wives, husbands, parents, brothers, sisters, and other family and friends went to work that day-Some never came home. The way they died was horrific and it was at the direct hands of others. People are still getting sick and dying from exposure even today; Both those who were in the area and rescue workers. I did not lose anyone but remember that day and smell of smoke and the ash in air like it was yesterday. How could anyone forget? This is not "fetishizing". Please have some respect for those who remember and attend events regardless of now or in the future. Our society is divided enough now as it is with other issues.
But as you surely know, there is still a memorial every year on March 25 in Washington Square Park for the victims of the 1911 Triangle fire, so you're probably correct.
I finally made it there in the evening with my family. Quite an experience, felt almost spiritual to me.
One great thing was seeing the crowds of visitors up there just like before 9/11. Everybody enjoying that view like before.
