The Impact of 9/11
O, The Oprah Magazine  |  From the September 2002 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine


Ben Sherwood, author of The Man Who Ate the 747

"My sensory awareness of New York has changed forever. Before, I blocked out the noises and faces. I lived behind locks. September 11 brought those barriers down. This heightened sensory state is good and bad. It feels more alive. It feels more perilous. Nothing seems the same."
