i heard about the first plane hitting the tower as i got on the express bus to go to work, like other, i thought it was a small plane and kind of chuckled to myself when the news reporter mentioned that the president had been informed.......i tried to get onto the the internet when i got to work and was unable to, when i was finally able to pull up a picture of the WTC I almost fell out of my chair.......thye clsoed our office and I went home and parked myself in front of the TV for the next week - i found it difficult to tun off.
my office was a sub-compny of Marsh (a company that lost a number of people in the WTC) - and there was a website set up with pictures of those who were missing - the website allowed people to post their thoughts as well, and while I did not know anyone, it was tough reading......
in some ways i thought that event might change the world a bit - but i don't really think anything changed
