I bet it must be a traumatizing experience to be there in person and see so much destruction. It's probably not easy for you to write about it even now, after 18 years

I’m telling you. It’s that smell. I’ll never forget it. It lingered for months in downtown Manhattan. And certain images get seared into your mind.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience which is now Featured on steemit.com. I grew up around Manhattan and lived there for the last ten years, but was in Michigan during 9/11. I can't imagine what it was like. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you @andrarchy! I think it’s important to emphasize the real human experience of that day, which directly effected so many, rather than the political impacts, conspiracy theory, etc. that we all too often get.

"Amazing" might be the wrong word..
Traumatic might be more along the lines of what he was expressing.. but I tend to think that all of us human beings experience trauma sooner or later.. so none of us are ever alone in that.
How amazing???
The mere smell was deadly causing cancer for many of the people participating in the rescue and cleanup. That's terrifying.
Smell of thermite in the morning.
