Remembering 23 years ago.

Transcript

00:00You were what? Seven years old? I was in fourth grade. Okay. Do you remember exactly what happened?

00:07And I said this last year, I think back to that day and it was like the taking of my innocence

00:15because I remember being at school. I remember kids getting dismissed from school, fourth grade,

00:22and I'm wondering what's going on. I've had anxiety my whole life, so you can imagine how

00:26that affected me. And I remember the teacher saying, we're not going out for any type of recess

00:32and the story they gave was like there was a big car accident. And I'm like, how does that affect?

00:36And then they told us it was the bees outside. There was a million different things that they

00:40told us. We are now getting to the root of your anxiety problem. It was teachers and adults lying

00:46to you about actual problems. Right. Not telling you the truth. They told you it was the killer

00:50bees, which was the problem. And I believe them. But I always had a babysitter. Both my parents

00:57worked my entire life. And so I had a babysitter when I would get off the van, the little van

01:01coming back. And my mom was at home. So I knew something bad had happened. And my dad's friend,

01:09John Oganowski, was the pilot of the first plane. So my dad was elsewhere. My mom was home with me.

01:16And the first question I asked was, well, did they get the people that did this?

01:21My mom said, what do you mean? And I said, well, in my mind, in my fourth grade mind,

01:26the people that were took over the planes had parachuted out of the plane.
