Many people compare the day of September 11, 2001 as “the day the world stopped turning”. I strongly agree with this statement. The tragedy of the towers left millions in shock and starring at their televisions for hours. Everyone was at a stand still either due to that shock or literally forbidden to leave where they were.
Then there are the journalists. The ones we know as always having something to say. We can get lost in their words and not realize they are people too. It is easy to just expect the Sunday newspaper to be waiting on our front step in the morning. In this time of tragedy, they too can be at a loss for words. They are then faced with, “confronting the first time in [their] career[s] when emotions truly clouded judgment…” states journalist, Maegan Carberry.
It was the day the world stopped turning. It was the day the ones who always had everything to say, stopped and starred at a blank computer screen.
