[Candy Annie Cane]

I remember being in work and one of our temps rang and asked if we'd heard the news - we hadn't. She told us that an aircraft had hit the twin towers and we assumed it was a light aircraft or one of those helicopters that do the tours...we logged on to the internet and watched as it unfolded. It was so strange - the phones stopped ringing, the roads went quiet, we all stopped talking - all we could hear was the radio station that we had been listening to reporting on it...it became very eery. I remember driving home and sitting up all night watching the Sky News reports...and thinking that this would change the world massively. My brother was flying at the time and shortly afterwards and he said he had never heard flights so silent...
