I was at work listening to a morning talk show out of Charlotte. Though it was a comedy show, they broke in just as they were getting ready to sign off for the day (morning drive show) and said a plane had hit one of the towers. I think like most people, I thought it was a small plane that went off course for some reason. The MCs of the show stayed on air and started giving play-by-play reports. After the second plane hit I went to my boss's office where he was meeting with the Chairman of the Board and just busted in the door and told him to turn on the radio and that something bad was happening in NYC.

Word went around the office and we were all listening/watching either on radio or PC to things as they unfolded. We were allowed to go home a shortly after it all started where I watched it on TV as one thing after another happened. It was chilling...we were surrounded by military bases so we wondered if any of them would be targets.

It was right after this that cable and a TV were installed at the office.
