Man, I have no words after that. Thanks for sharing your story. Definitely not what I was expecting on a post about CD drives haha
It does feel surreal to watch videos of news reports from the attacks. At school we get taught a lot about WWII, but there is very little video from that time, compared to 2001. The outside reporting near the twin towers makes me emotional, even though I was born in 2004 on another continent. It just gives such a strong feeling of connection for some reason. Something which we do not really have in the NL.
Times are trying currently, with multiple wars close to NATO borders. I'm somewhat anxious about a World War 3 starting in the near future. I hope it doesn't come that far, but at least we would all probably feel a sense of not national, but international connection to each other. Which is the only comforting thing around the idea of WWIII I have.
