Where were you on 11th September 2001?

I was in a sunny flat doing my tax return, talking to my boss on the phone, half watching TV, and I said to her, "you want to switch on the TV, there's been a terrible accident in New York!"

I was at the office working on pc when somebody said "US are attacked by planes". At first we put radios on but we couldn't understand what the speaker said ; then we looked at internet. It was incrdible.

I was at office too when it happened but contrary to Lavander I learned the terrible news only when I switched on the TV at around 10 PM. It was so incredible, the sky was so blue, I was astonished by the news.  I remember me watching the same images on the TV again and again  trying to persuade myself that it wasn't the reality  but just a new James Bond 's fiction.

I was on Microsoft Flight Simulator crashing little planes into Chicago skyscrapers. (Just kidding). I was at work, and my aunt, the president of the company, came and told me, and I went home and watched TV. But I wasn't surprised, because they had already tried to blow the World Trade Centers from underneath in the parking lot - in fact the trial was going on at the same time. And several years before, Algerians had already tried to hijack a plane and crash it into Paris. But I was astonished that the buildings should collapse so fast.
