Where were you when...

[Stacey42]

I was at work. My boss' Dh called her about how he heard some guy accidentally flew a plane into a building in NYC. I had internet on my computer so she had me look it up. We got the initial story when it was still "was it an accident" then CNN was overloaded. So I called DH who was home supervising our a/c installation. He turned on the TV and for the next hour relayed info to me & I passed it on, managing to get some stuff off the net as well. We are only a couple hours from DC, there were coworkers with family at the Pentagon. We had staff in NYC that day for training. I had flown home from there only 3 days earlier. Our office in NYC called a couple times but then the lines were overloaded.
Around noon they put a tv on the desk across from me so people could come over during their breaks and get news. I had to watch it over and over and over for 6 hours. When I came home & found friends in the living room watching it with DH I just couldn't face it.
I went in the bedroom and watch Star Trek on scifi for 2 solid hours before I could talk to anyone about it.
