Twenty-two years after the September 11th attacks, recollections of the day center on both factual details and the briefly shared sense of national purpose that followed. On September 12, 2001, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal met a reporter for The Weekly Standard for a drink in Union Square, having earlier walked between the World Trade Center towers on the morning of the attacks. The first plane struck the North Tower while the Wall Street Journal reporter was in the newsroom. The shock of the event briefly fostered a sense of shared purpose, though its legacy has proven complicated.
To remember 9/11 can also mean simply recalling factual details of the day, according to reporting from NDTV. The Financial Times notes the shock of the attacks briefly united the country, but the aftermath has left a complicated legacy. The sources do not detail what aspects of that legacy are most prominent, nor do they offer analysis of its current state.
