Hit CNN.com....servers bombed ...ABCNews.com....same thing....it's like the entire Internet shit the bed at once...we all walked downstairs to the cafeteria as there were many TVs there....came around in the corner and the first thing I saw was the first Tower falling.

I don't think I've got over the shock....or anger...from that day yet.

My situation was similar.

I heard it on the radio on the way in to work. They said it was a small plane and it didn't seem like a big deal.

Once I got to the office a client came in and gave us an update. We were trying to stay informed via the web.

Like Gregman said, the internet was worthless (no TV at the office) so our updates were spotty. By 10am we had closed the office and went home to watch the events unfold.
