There is little worse than witnessing a sight when you know than something horrible has happened and can never be undone.
I was watching live news with colleagues in the department when the second World Trade Center collapsed. I was frozen by the realization at that moment that I had just witnessed the death of some large number of human beings.

Speaking of denial and teachable moments, was anyone else watching the Bills game on Sunday. I watched about 30 minutes of TV all day but, just my luck, I was paying attention at that exact moment! The latest from the players surgeon is really bad news. I have to admit that I said one of Carlin's 7-dirty-words when I saw it happen as it was obviously a horrible injury - it looked about as bad as I've ever seen for a spinal injury. Those of us with football player students can expect some questions about spinal injury, etc. (or not, if they are in denial). Hope you are all having a great Monday!
