Actually, I don't remember it. I'd moved away from the USA about 3 years before, and from the outside, it looked like a lot of media-driven knee-jerk over-reacting (after the first few weeks anyway). Maybe I'm not being 911-sensitive enough, but damn man - you guys allowed what should have been a simple one-time tragedy to become an ongoing tragicomedy of errors which helped to further ruin a country already on the skids.
The first weeks sucked. Then we went to Afghanistan and had the world behind us. Then "W" decided to go after the bad guy that tried to kill his daddy. Imagine a plane takes out the Q1 tower and then the Eureka tower and nothing like it has ever happened before. It would have an effect on you.
I do know a little about those emotions, though. I lived in Oklahoma City in 1995.
BTW I'm gonna pretend you said "Sky Tower" and, um, hmm - some other big building in NZ.
I had to google those two towers to see what you were talking about :-)
HA! I swear I googled largest building in New Zealand. edit: Imagine a plane crashes in to the shire
Google, being helpful - "NZ? Really? Are you sure you didn't mean 'tallest building in Australia' ? I'm pretty sure that's what you meant, so here's your search results!"
