The shooting instantly undermined basic assumptions that allowed most of the people in the third car of the 5:33 to fall asleep at night or turn corners without fear of what they might find. Basic suppositions woven so deeply into the psyche that they are usually imperceptible—that you get home at the end of the day, for instance—were now absent from their calculations. Out of the public bloodletting and the pain, a bunch of people headed home one night on a commuter train were forced to reconsider everything about what it means to be alive.The Long Island Rail Road Massacre changed the lives of every commuter by placing fear where there once was a sense of safety. In A Journey We Didn't Want to Take, Donald Katz tells us the story of this nightmare as it was felt by the people who witnessed those three horrific minutes, the people who were shot but survived the attack, and the people whose loved ones did not make it home that evening.A Journey We Didn't Want to Take was originally published in Worth, April 1995.Cover design by Adil Dara.
