Readers Remember: Twin Towers

When you glimpse the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in pre-Sept. 11 movies or television shows, it still shocks. Visitors from all over the world, including the Inland Northwest, visited or once lived near the Twin Towers. Here, they reflect on that, 10 years after the towers fell down.

I was raised in Ridgewood New Jersey, and was lucky to take field trips to New York City frequently throughout my school years.

(Editor’s note: We received more than 25 stories and those will all be added here by Sept. 11. Readers who sent in both photos and stories will find those in our picture story about the Twin Towers).

Joanne Pos Cottrell, Sandpoint

In 1972 my high school social studies teacher took us on a different type of field trip to New York City. We left home at night, and drove to New York, about 40 minutes away over the river. We were just a small group of students, and out teacher drove us throughout the City, showing us its underbelly. We saw the lights, the people, and even got to eat an automated meal at Horn and Hardart.

But what I remember the most is the end of the trip. Our teacher parked right next to the Twin Towers, and we watched the sun rise and gleam on the mirrored buildings. The glow rose and rose, higher and higher until the two towers were bathed in sunlight. That sight has been burned into memory after all these years.

When the towers fell in 2001, I knew the massive loss, I knew the area, I knew people who worked in the buildings. When my sister and I walked in downtown New York a few years after the attack it was an odd feeling, because there was sunlight in the business district. Those towers had been so large, they had blocked out the sun for years.

Eric and Angela Roth, Nine Mile Falls

My wife, Angela, and I visited the Twin Towers for the first and only time on May 26, 2000. It was the last day of our first and only visit to New York—a week-long sightseeing trip we’d booked on a whim, always having wanted to see the city.
