9/11 can you remember where u was??
Jake:
The 7/7 bombings were a bit more scary.
I was in Tavistock Square the day before.
On the day we worried about our colleagues that were delivering in London but all were OK.

I was at school getting shouted at for watching the tv

I was taking my wife and daughter to Heathrow to get on a plane to New York to see wife's mother.
Daughter was asleep in the car so we didn't have the radio on - Got in a lift at the airport and a guy asks where we are going - When we said he started to tell us what had happened - I thought why would someone try and make a 3 year old feel so bad about flying with such a load of BS - I was ready to deck him.
Walked in to the terminal and there was not a sound - Very strange feeling.
Got to give full marks to Virgin - Got all our money back, even the booking fee.
Anyone who can condone the killing of so many innocent people is sick - If that was an act of war where were the military they were attacking?

I was serving in Germany but on leave back in the UK. I remember seeing the live footage just after the first plane struck and thought it was a new take on the Orson Wells radio show (War of the Worlds). It took almost 5 mins to fully realise it was real and then I felt sick.
I was surprised the following day at the port at Harwich, the papers were full of all the gory details including pictures of those who chose to jump (I still think that those images were printed irresponsibly). There seemed to be no additional security at the port!
The next 6 weeks at work were hard too as the alert state went through the roof and paranoia set in.
I hope we never have to witness an atrocity like that again. Worse things have happened of course and I am sure more will. It was just because of the media coverage (live) that made it as shocking.
Damonski:
I was at home watching it all happen on Sky News. :(
