Thrasher:
Heard about it on our return from the pub (lunch!)....found a suitably unaffected text only website serving news..and watched with interest.

My brother flew out American Airlines 2 days later and sent me an email from Chicago airport...."on top of tallest building drinking beer...bring it on!". Always was a bit mad my brother.....

smo:
I was with a mate getting some computer bits for the little sideline we ran back then, both of us had simultanious messages/calls from our GF's telling us to watch the telly, so we ran down the street to the nearest shop with one in a window and watched from there.

thermidorthelobster:
Driving down the M1 on the way back from our wedding, to go to Heathrow on the morning of 12th for our honeymoon.  Heard on the radio news that a light aircraft had flown into one of the towers and thought, that sounds a bit more significant than they're saying at this stage...

discojames:
I was at work, but the radio in the truck I was driving was not working, so I had to wait until I got home to get the full details, kept hearing snippits throughout the day from various people I saw....very confusing until I saw it on TV

andycwb:
I was at work all day, with a bunch of senior level guys visiting from the US.  

I work for an American company, and work more with folks in the Boston area than I do with people at the next desk, so lots of colleagues were affected, including someone I worked with closely who was on the AA flight from Boston to San Francisco that should have taken off an hour after the LAX flight that got hijacked.  His plane never left the ground, and by the time he got out of the terminal and turned his phone back on there were about a dozen increasingly frantic messages from his wife.  

For all he knows, there could have been hijackers on that plane as well.
