I was already at work for a few hours. Got the news through e-mail that a friend's wife was watching TV and a plane had hit one tower. We were treating it like a curiosity.

I tuned in just in time to see the second plane hit. The first words out of my mouth were "Osama Bin Laden". A coworker said: "Who?"
