[Taken from my blog, written the day Osama Bin Laden was killed] The “Where were you on 9/11?” question, one can only assume, is our generation’s “-when Kennedy was assassinated.” Being 9 (I think) and with no connection to the event I can remember watching the September 11th footage, not particularly moved by it, on the news on a repeated loop.

There's a follow up idea in the works, hopefully teasers late Easter and I'll be spamming Twitter under @JoeyLemons with updates, any love or support is hugely appreciated!
