9/11 was right in front of us . It was surrealistic , a bad movie , a movie that even Jerry Bruckheimer would n't , could n't imagine making . We stood there for an incalculable amount of time . We stood in the company of strangers , but no one was a stranger that day .

Question: Why was no one a stranger that day ?
Answer: Everyone fended for themselves .Everyone worked together to escape the rubble .Everyone began fighting within the chaos .Everyone focused on their own take on the situation .
