All I remember is going to bed about 10 minutes before it came on TV. I awoke the next morning and my jaw dropped seeing the first tower fall. I don't think that I remember my blood running that cold ever. I lived in New York for years, and I knew a lot of people as friends, customers and distant family in those two towers. I used to go up these buildings almost daily when I worked there.
The train trip in to Sydney was spent in absolute silence. No-one spoke for the entire hour.
I then went to work in what is known as the "World Trade Centre" in Sydney - the old AAP Tower. I think we were pretty nervous the whole day - especially when the lights went out accidently around 12:00 noon.
Brrrrrrrr.........
