I think seeing it live did make a difference. We didn't know what was going to happen next. When we saw the second plane hit, at first we thought it was a recording of the first plane. It was traumatic.

I don't know if you'd get the same reaction nowadays. Our media environment is much more fractured, I don't know if you'd have the same experience. Even January 6th, it felt like I had a tad more control because I could choose where to get my information from, instead of having the one news channel.
