Not very Islamic, my behavior in college, but it's a part right of passage, I guess, as an American.
Right.
Forgive me, Allah.
But I was there that day.
I witnessed the tragedies.
The doors open.
People are screaming, yelling.
I didn't know what the hell was going on.
I got excited like an idiot, you know, because human beings.
We're a very creative species.
When we see danger, like, hey, Billy, let's go check that fire out.
Where animals will take, they see fire, they run the other way, right?
Heedlessness is what we are.
So I remember getting inside for one second thinking maybe there's a brawl or something.
I didn't know the buildings are on fire.
So I was there that day, brother.
And if I didn't leave lower Manhattan when I did, at the time I had a girlfriend, I crossed over to Brooklyn Bridge.
I call it the Bridge of Tears that day.
literally the whole bridge became us leaving and the firefighters going in that way.
And they never made it back home, brother.
