The Jets will open the NFL regular season against the Baltimore Ravens at home just across the Hudson River from where hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Center in 2001. Football will be played Sunday, but all the cheers won’t mean anyone has forgotten. Certainly not Saleh, whose oldest brother, David, narrowly escaped the south tower that day.
