            <text>Here, I will recount my 9/11 story, as written shortly after the attacks. However, before beginning, it must be understood that I had gotten into a car accident a few months before at a notorious intersection called the Somerville Circle, near Somerville, NJ. (The heavy traffic and the bad traffic-circle design contributed to car wrecks.) Because of that accident, I was in court on September 10, 2001. I had somehow escaped penalty for this incident, because it was perhaps my first car accident, and this showed up the next morning upon waking up.&#13;
&#13;
"On the Eleventh of September, &#13;
I had been in bed laughing in the AM,&#13;
for I was in such a good mood.&#13;
Then I turned the computer on in&#13;
the dorm (Hardenbergh, fifth floor, at Rutgers University), and (of&#13;
course) the AOL instant messenger &#13;
ticker came on... and the first&#13;
headline was something like, &#13;
"World Trade Center towers under&#13;
attack" - so I promptly turned &#13;
on my brand-new TV. On it,&#13;
a fearsome scene of a World &#13;
Trade Center tower with a &#13;
big fearsome hole in it. I then&#13;
saw that tower go down - and,&#13;
of course I was angry.  I &#13;
was also afraid - because&#13;
they had shut Manhattan down&#13;
and made my uncle &amp; others&#13;
a bunch of sitting ducks, and&#13;
also because I was worried&#13;
that biological agents might've&#13;
been aboard the wrecked planes.&#13;
I later realized that the&#13;
planes' fires would've burned&#13;
away any such agents, but&#13;
I was still rather jumpy &#13;
for the next few days - mostly &#13;
[waiting] for the sound of a wailing &#13;
siren, carrying some of the wounded&#13;
to New Brunswick... ouch."&#13;
&#13;
"Of course, if I had known that NYC&#13;
would be foolhardy enough to build&#13;
a self-destructing emergency center&#13;
next to the WTC, I'd have realized&#13;
that Giuliani and Co. really were idiots...&#13;
sorta... when it comes to disaster."</text>
