I was in Hogsback....no TV, but heard via telephone from my hysterical wife (we were married for 1 week at that stage)....so I missed all the emotion behind the whole event!

Helping my wife put up curtains in our first day in our new house in new town,son rushes in says that a plane has flown into a building.We say "whar ever",me thinking some small plane ,probably pilot drunk!Only that evening do we realise the full enormity of the event.Two months later to the day 11/11 flash flood rips through our town for first time in fifty years ,nine residents drown as water pours down our streets.,luckily missing our house but flooding our garage!

In some small Tuscan town with my now ex-wife, wondering WTF .....and trying to contact relatives in London and NY,NY.
They all survived, our marriage didn't, but we've both had kids since then so life and procreation continues, and we're mates still - cool huh?!

Was in London, I had been there for two days. All of sudden everything went chaotic. Later on I was wondering whether they said London or NY. I was pretty sure the TTs where in NY but I must have missed something judging from the chaos in London

Sitting at the office when one of the women (who like russish like heat and people magazine) said "hey a plane just flew into the twin towers" to which I replied something along the lines of "you people will believe just about anything!" moral of the story keep my trap shut!
