I was in my office (in my house), trying to make a weekly scheduled con call with a client. He wasn't available, which was highly unusual. He called me back.
"Noel, go turn on the TV. Something's happening down in New York City. A plane has just crashed into the World Trade Center."
I went upstairs and turned on CNN, in time to see the second plane hit the other tower. And spent the rest of the day up there, doing some work on my laptop while the images from Manhattan streamed out of the TV and I kept trying to reach colleagues and friends in the City and a client whose office was a couple blocks away and who was regularly in meetings at the towers.
My eldest daughter (then in 8th grade) was on a school field trip to Boston. They got down there, then turned around and came back. The kids weren't told what was going on. In Boston tall buildings were being evacuated and people sent home. She didn't know what was happening until she came home from school.
