I was at work. When we heard of the first crash we went to CNN.com, only 3 computers could pull it in before the T1 was overloaded so those 3 workstations kept a constant crowd around. I watched live streaming video of the second crash. My blood ran cold and I had to pray a Hail Mary out loud because I knew it was an attack.

I lived 5min from work, so took 2 employees home with me to watch CNN, a girl who just started working with us, who moved from NYC, and a shop foreman. We took a 2 hour+ lunch. Watching the people choose to jump from the building rather than burn - the 2 that held hands and jumped...

...no words.

I watched CNN for 2 months solid. Was panic stricken.
