did u guys know that gerard way was actually on a train to manhattan when it happened? he was about to go pitch some cartoon ideas to cartoon network or something, and when it happened he saw people frantically calling their families and telling them they love them and stuff.
it really like completely changed his outlook on life, and after that he decided he wanted to do something with his life. he wanted to make a difference, you know?
and thus,
my chemical romance was born.
