I was sitting in the cockpit of a Delta jet after just landing in Atlanta when my world changed forever. 9-11-01. RIP brothers...
9/11 has changed the world forever. It seem to lose its innocence.
Cant believe its been 8 years..wow.
In Australia I woke up to the clock radio and sleepily noticed that it wasn't the usual morning radio show. As I came to I realised what had happened. As I stood at the train station there was this weird mood; everyone seemed really pensive.
Over the next few weeks all of our news was completely dominated by 9/11. Then I noticed a small column buried in a newspaper about an earthquake that killed 100,000 Indians. No fuss. Almost no interest. I thought that was kind of grotesque.
People can be brutal but while we focus on each other's foibles nature plays far more deadly hardball.
