I remeber where i was that day, I was on my way to work and sitting at the stop light right in front of GLC SYstems, I heard it on the radio. When I got inside the shop I found one of our old portable TVs and tuned in, I watched the second plane hit live.
I also remeber the internet coming to it's knees the only sight that was staying up and reporting news was slashdot.org We also had the highest count of users online for our isp. We had all of 12 pri's of lines full.
Then on my way home that day I rember how bummed I was and then I seen Airforce one fly overhead with fighter jets and it brought a smile to my face.
