flight 2564

leaving newark, i could have sworn i was looking at the New York skyline. how many empire state building look-a-likes could there possibly be outside new jersey? then i saw the statue of liberty.

her size (from take-off) paled in comparison to the already seemingly small skyscrapers, yet she appeared so big. so striking.

i couldn't help but think of 9/11. how could i not? this was physically the closest i'd come to it. and i was in a plane.

suddenly i didn't feel like reading skymall magazine anymore.
