I sure do. I apologize to those of you who’ve heard this story before, but I flew that morning, a 90-minute hop from North Carolina, where I’d been researching an article for the Times, to Newark.

What happened, I asked one. A plane hit the World Trade Center, he said. I looked up and saw the truth myself: in the distance, the twin towers were on fire, matches a quarter-mile high, sending huge plumes of smoke into the brilliant blue sky.
