It is 22 years since the catastrophic event of 9/11. It had a lasting emotional toll in America and was catastrophic for Afghanistan and Iraq. The role of media expanded to transmitting and amplifying tragic events live. Airplane travel wasn't so safe anymore, and Muslims became the target of discrimination which has lasted for decades.
I wondered why there are no reflections this year in the Google retrievals. Google has become so aggressive in shaping and deciding what is retrieved that I have come to downgrade its integrity rating.
I hopped over to DuckDuckGo.com and find quite the list of reflections. There was breaking news from CNN in which two more victims were identified through advanced DNA testing. That article says that 40% of the victims - 1,100 people remain unidentified. So one would expect the timing of the identification was done to coincide with the anniversary. That tells us a lot about how news is made for the media today.
I came upon this November image. I expect this is along John Street in Vineland. The sun was reflecting up into the sky and the road shone brilliantly with the reflections. I think this vertical extension of light is called a sun pillar.
