One thing I remember is that the internet news sites as a whole pretty much cratered that day. CNN et al. were down to static HTML pages with basic links. One of the only big sites (back in those days) to really weather the storm nicely was Slashdot. Go back and read some of the comments in that story (or any forum from that time). The confusion and chaos was quite evident in the first hours afterwards.
