Same here. My wife and I were driving to work in Houston. We were listening to a book on tape, so we did not get any reports. After I dropped her at her work, I switched to the radio and started hearing reports. The first plane had already hit. At first I thought it was just an accident. Before I reached my work, the second plane hit. At that point, I knew it was no accident. I spent the rest of the day following the story on Free Republic.
One other thing I remember about that day was that it was our first cool day of the year here in Houston. My wife and I were enjoying driving with the sun roof open in our car. Seemed like the start of a perfect day...
It was a beautiful day in TX.
I was ever so thankful our kids’ elem teachers allowed them to watch the classroom tv for two weeks. Many of the talking heads were instructing parents not to let kids watch the news. Sorry, kids need to see it so they could understand. They won’t forget.
