On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the 9/11 memorial stands as a solemn tribute. This day marks a moment of reflection for many, especially for those who call New York home. Daniel Edward Rosen, writing for City Journal by the Manhattan Institute, shares his memories of that fateful day.
Back in August 2001, Rosen had recently graduated from college. He was living with four roommates in a converted loft in TriBeCa. From there, he could see lower Manhattan. The World Trade Center dominated the skyline, only eight blocks away.
Rosen’s vivid recollection of this time provides insight into the personal impact of the 9/11 tragedy. His narrative offers a glimpse into life in New York just before the world changed.
