The Only Plane in the Sky by Garrett M. Graff is a narrative of the events of 9/11 as told by all. Garrett takes us minute by minute through the events of the day using the individual recollections of many different people. Think of the work as a patchwork quilt. The quilt as a whole talks about the calamity of the day, while each patch represents a slice of one person’s experience of one moment in the day. It provides an interesting perspective on a day that everyone who was old enough at the time can remember for themselves. Of course it is mind-numbingly sad but it provides a nice look at an historical event. I would recommend it.
