The events of September 11, 2001 amounted to unfathomable costs, in terms of lives and families forever torn apart, not to mention the physical and emotion after effects that continue to haunt the survivors of 9/11. In addition to that, there was an economic cost to 9/11 – one that is almost equally unfathomable. David Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times, recently wrote about the economic cost of 9/11. He was with President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001, and remembers his experience that day.
