It's hard for me to believe that it has been ten years since TWA Flight 800 went down over Long Island Sound. I was living in New York then, and I remember how hot that evening was. And I still remember the sickening feeling when I turned on the television and saw the first reports of the crash.
I remember thinking at the time, "It was just out there -- in the sky" -- not too far from where I was -- as I stood and listened to the drone of the newscasts.
Terrible night. Terrible, terrible night.
