Missing, but not missed (opens the original)

On 9/11 each year, I rewatch the original NBC live coverage from that morning. For me, it’s the most visceral way to “never forget.” Watching the moments of the Today show before the breaking news, one recalls that before time, before we learned we weren’t safe at all, before we knew what could and did happen on American soil.
