Thanks for sharing. My memories of that day are just as clear. I was on my way to work (out in the 'burbs, luckily) when I heard radio reports of the incidents in NY. By the time I got to work, everyone was scrambling over the internet news sites (which slowed to a crawl that day) trying to follow what was going on. Finally someone scrounged up a TV and set it up in the conference room, where we gathered around in silent shock.

And incidentally, that was the day I registered here.

So it is, the day you registered here. Seems like more than a year, doesn't it?

I was on my way to work also when I heard about the first plane. At the time I didn't think much about it. While at work, I remember it being during snack time (I was working at a day care center with 2 year-olds) when someone came in and said we were under attack and to turn on the radio. It seemed unreal. I didn't get to see any newsbroadcasting till lunch. Myself and the other teacher had to pull ourselves together for the kids. We knew that they wouldn't understand what was going on, but would be able to tell if something was wrong. Everything seemed unreal.
