I was out of town at a client location working in the basement completely cut off from all media and no radio reception down there. I went to take a leak and while I was p*ssing some guy at the urinal next to me (there was only two urinals in this bathroom) told me.

We kinda had dial-up internet connectivity, but none of the websites would work. All my news came from Tigerboard that day. I went upstairs to ask a question and they had it on a TV and I saw the second tower fall, that was when it all became real and it hit me like 5 tons of bricks.
