what was your level of fear that the twin towers would affect you at home ? I work from home, so my fear that I would be killed in an attack on a large office building is virtually nil. However, my wife works at one of the confirmed targets for future attack so it is safe to say that I had and have some fear that my family could be affected by terrorists. And I do hop in planes pretty frequently and was even scheduled to fly on 9/11. I'd say that I had lingering fear whenever I got on a plane for a good five years after 9/11. I can't imagine that anyone who flies wasn't affected for many years after 9/11. My sister's home was destroyed in a forest fire almost exactly five years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angora_Fire It was a horrible tragedy for her and 250 other families, but the fear of it happening to me hasn't been transfered.
