Q I. The set-upII. 9/11III. AnthraxIV. Anxiety Reigned V. Beltway SnipersVI. This combination of events and circumstances was a hyper-local expression of larger, national, American Crises. It was felt very personally and powerfully by a small group of late-teens / young-adults who were already pre-traumatized and in very vulnerable parts of their lives. As a result of their experience, my girlfriend and I also experienced these events very powerfully and personally. I wasn’t afraid of terrorists, infections, or random bullets, but as their teacher I had no choice but to interact with their fear every day. Their fear became my background culture, the environment in which I taught. It was my crisis.

9/11 had been experienced by me as I had been alive and watching the news of the man-made crises after the attacks launched on the Pentagon and the Twin Towers. I had never been a witness to destruction caused in sch a brutal manner in my country. There had been no sign of hope for rescuing the lives of the citizens present inside the buildings. This is because there had not been any time given to the rescue workers to come and save the situation. The buildings had been destroyed with extreme force of the airplanes. There had been my country’s citizens watching death coming towards them from the speeding airplanes breaking the windows of the buildings. Our country’s President did not have any option but to watch via television like me and every other American citizen present in their houses or elsewhere apart from the buildings of terrorist attacks.
