9/11 song: “Welcome to the Boneyard”

In honor of those who died on 9/11 and those battling 9/11-related illnesses, here’s a free download of the Devi song “Welcome to the Boneyard” and an important video from George Tabb, one of many Ground Zero volunteers and recovery workers with severely compromised health.
The morning of 9/11/2001, I was heading out the door of my Hoboken apartment to meet a friend when I flipped on the radio and heard that a bomb had gone off at the World Trade Center. I came back inside and turned on the TV. I watched in shock as smoke poured out of the north tower, thinking this was some terrible accident…then I saw the second plane ram into the south tower. When the north tower imploded and crumbled into a cloud of dust, I ran outside, jumped onto my bike and rode to the riverfront, with some vague idea of praying for the people who had just been immolated. By the time I got there, I saw not one, but two massive white clouds across the river. The south tower had just fallen, too. A young Indian man standing next to me said “my aunt and uncle work in that tower.”
