I was at work when the first plane hit one of the towers. A fellow employee who kept a radio going in his work area told me what happened. I thought it was an accident until the second plane hit. Our boss closed the shop about an hour after the towers had fallen so we could go home and watch the news coverage on TV. I recorded about eight hours of the afternoon's events on VHS, but the whole incident was so disturbing that I never watched any of the tapes later.
