@Judy Berdy--what a great post. I was living in Westchester at the time, and had forgotten the message boards--some of them, heartbreakingly, seeking information on missing friends and loved ones, that stayed in Grand Central Station for months. They brought them back on the first anniversary and people left flowers.
And no, I'm not sure life feels normal even now...
