“The saddest thing that happened in my life as a knitter,” Sam Barsky says in a TikTok, “is that I made a Twin Towers sweater before the Twin Towers were destroyed.”
He goes on: “I made it in May of 2001 after I took a bus trip to New York and as [the] bus was leaving the city, I saw the Twin Towers and it inspired a sweater. I never would have imagined what would happen four months later. I barely wear it anymore but I wear it once a year on 9/11,” he explains in front of a green screen projection of the towers. The TikTok video racked up over 4 million likes and 12 million views.
