I was at work when my boss came back from lunch to tell me there had been a terrible accident in NY and a plane had crashed in to one of the towers. We logged onto the BBC news website and literally watched live feed of the second impact - there had been a BBC tv crew filming at the centre that morning. The whole office just went so silent, realising immediately that this was absolutely not an accident. I remember just getting home and watching the news as the buildings collapsed.
I read today that alot of the relatives of those who died are worried that the rememberance of that day and those who died will somehow become absorbed into a general 'Earth Day'. I really, really don't think anyone who saw the images of the towers on or after that day will ever let that happen - how could we after what we watched and witnssed?
