One of the memories that sticks with me is when the anthrax mailings started happening. One early dark morning sitting in my parked car after driving to work I'm listening to news on the radio about anthrax, the U.S. military in combat, random attacks here in the U.S. and overseas, we were working like hell on the ship to get ready for deployment, and I remember sitting there thinking the whole world had gone absolutely crazy and wondering if life would ever be normal again.

Just out of curiosity, how does it feel today vs then? Does it feel more like the world has gone crazy when 9/11 and the anthrax scares we’re going on or now? Would like another opinion. 9/11 left me in awe/shock. I couldn’t believe that could happen to the US. It was a “holy [BLEEP]” moment for me. As bad as that was, I see the world going even more bonkers lately.

Nothing feels crazier than the 9/11 attacks. I can only compare it to what Americans must have felt after Pearl Harbor; thousands of Americans have been killed and everyone knows there is going to be more bloodshed to follow. It was a visceral shock that was worse for 9/11 because it was civilians targeted rather than the military.
