I went into work. I probably got there around 2pm (normal scheduled time). Ken told me a plane had hit the World Trade Center (WTC). I thought that was interesting. People were telling me it was probably a small 1 or 2 person plane, because it looked so small compared to the buildings. I figured it was a freak accident. I expect this kind of thing happens from time to time. There were 2 people at work with small TVs, and a couple with radios. They played the news for the rest of the day. It turned out that one of the major airlines was missing a jumbo-jet, and that's probably what hit the WTC. Then another jumbo-jet hit, and everybody saw it. That's when it got scary. Something was definitely wrong. And another one hit the Pentagon. That's really not supposed to happen. So I canceled the night's
Philadelphia Linux User Group meeting, got my girlfriend and her son, and went home. Canceling the meeting was by far the most emotional point in my day - that's where it affected my life.
