Those pictures hit me hard as well. I watched it live and it changed me forever.
It was late at night here and the news broke in on TV. This was just after the first plane hit.
At that point no one knew what was happening. After the second plane hit it the whole tone of the news reporting changed as people started to realising this was a deliberate attack. During the night they reported the Pentagon being hit. We (in Australia) didn't hear anything about Pennsylvania until the next day.
One thing that stood out more than anything else is the solidarity your people showed during this harrowing time. Much respect!
