I was at work when the first airliner hit the WTC. One of my fellow employees, who had a radio in his work area, told me what happened. At first, I thought it was a tragic accident, not a terrorist attack. Around noon, the boss closed the shop so everyone could go home and watch the ongoing events on TV. I was very depressed that evening and couldn't eat any supper.
