9/11 revisited: 26 women, 26 stories.
The women who are “Waiting for 9/11” range from the wife of a terrorist, to a flight attendant on one of the planes, to a rescue worker, to a grandmother waiting for her grandson to take her to lunch. They could have been anyone in the world, but in one small minute in time, they were connected as they waited for disaster to strike.
None of them realized that there was a small thin thread connecting them for that moment, and once the thread was broken, they would forever be frozen in time in a war that was not of their making but of the men who conceived and carried out the greatest horror the United States has ever witnessed.
