20 years on, and the environment is totally different. For months over this winter, the USA had more covid deaths every day than died in total in 9/11 .

20 years on and 10's of thousands have died in Afghanistan as a direct result of that event. It blows my mind
It's different really, I think people would still be just as stunned if similar happened tomorrow... it's just a more visceral scene than the "faceless stats" of daily covid deaths.
