I was on FR, in fact, when a couple of posts came up in Breaking News about a plane hitting the WTC.

I turned on FOX. The anchor was interviewing an expert in something-or-other, and mentioned the bomber that hit the Empire State Building in heavy fog in WWII. This, the anchor said, happened in broad daylight, and must have been intentional. I thought that this sort of speculation was incredibly irresponsible. The expert also pointed out that it could well have been an accident.

I switched over to MSNBC to se if they knew any more than FOX, watched for a short while, and then turned back to the computer just in time to hear the anchor say that there had been another explosion.

I turned around, saw the fireball, switched back to FOX, and the anchor was saying that another plane had hit the WTC.

The expert said (in answer to a question, I think) that if another plane had hit the towers, it was almost certain to be an intentional act.

I honestly don't remember what I was thinking at the time.

That is EXACTLY what I did.
