re: #187 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
my oldest daughter was not quite three years old at the time.
I recall her the next day asking, “Are we going to watch that show where they fly planes into buildings again?”
I happened to catch the second plane flying into the WTC on live feed - and my mind instantly thought of the now mostly-forgotten Richard Burton film The Medusa Touch. I caught that on TV one night in the ’80s and the scene where a 747 sails into a skyscraper stuck with me.
