I can't imagine the feeling of running into a burning skyscraper knowing you may never make it back down those same steps. Massive amounts of respect to the heroes who charged in on that day. Would have been absolutely terrifying.
I don't know how you could forget. I was 26 and worked in a high rise in Boston. We got evacuated as a precaution after the first second plane hit in NY. I had clients in the WTC. We all ran out in to the street and no one knew what to do or where to go.
When I made it home, I was glued to the TV, watching these brave men and women try to save anyone they could. I cannot imagine being in their shoes, running in to peril without a second thought for their own safety. They were the first sign that, despite the horror, the U.S. would fight back and do it's best to protect us. I have a long history of opposition to our government, but I will never have anything but respect and awe for first responders.
