I was in office, getting ready for market open. A trader ran in and said plane just hit WTC. We put TV feed on big screen in conference room and watched. Watched second plane hit. Went to investment conference in nearby hotel. Hundreds of investors and management teams milling around, TV footage fed to all the screens. Watched towers fall. In financial industry, so everyone knew people in WTC and surrounding NYC downtown. Went home and don't remember rest of day. Next day, started trying to figure out what to do w/ stocks when market reopened. If living, life has to go on.
