9/11 after 15 years. survior interview from denise boland

---

Today we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent men, women, and children who were killed in the attacks at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon, and near Shanksville, Pa. Hundreds of family members of 9/11 victims and influential political and military figures gathered on the 9/11 Memorial for the 15th anniversary ceremoney 

The new post-9/11 world brought ubiquitous long airport security lines, pat-downs to enter any large public place and a sense of anxiety among a public constantly worried about the next potential attack. Americans were instructed to "say something" if they saw anything abnormal anywhere. The color-coded terror alert system was constantly in flux and became a feature of daily life.

15 years later, the nation is at a far different place. Osama bin Laden is dead and al-Qaeda is a shell of its former self. There are on-going privacy debates in the Congress and across the nation over how far the government should be allowed to curtail civil liberties in the name of national security. The unpopular war in Afghanistan drags on with no end in sight before a public that polls show to be increasingly war-weary.
For millions of Americans, that fateful Autumn day changed everything.

at ground zero It was impossible not to feel the raw emotion… It's hard not to be moved by being here . The transformation of the site shows the resilience and ability of Americans to bounce back
