Were you swept up in "fear! fear! fear!" because of September 11, 2001?

[SummerSnow]

48. I was. My brother worked in Tower 2.

I was calling my brother on his cellphone when the first tower hit. He never answered. I called and called. Even other family members called. Still no answer. When the other tower was hit I sat there and watched in horror and feeling helpless thinking my brother was dead . We didn't hear from him for a few hours. He had a dental appointment that morning , didn't have his phone on him cause he left it in his car.When the dentist assistant was talking about the attack he took a break from getting his teeth cleaned went to get his phone saw all the missed calls and called dad and the rest of us.

I still think about what if that dental appointment was rescheduled or scheduled in the evening

I forgot to add that he still thinks about his coworkers who didn't make it. He says he feels regret.
