i remember where i was when i heard about the first plane flying into the towers.
i was sitting at work building a website to promote scottish businesses in new york for some expo thing.
i was gathering assets for a game we were going to pitch to the client. it was a bowling game, but you were bowling with a haggis and you were knocking down the NY skyscrapers like skittles.
Hoss from h69.net who id worked with at previous employer grabbed me on msn and was like "check out CNN NOW!!!!" and told me what had happened.
(needless to say - our game pitch never went ahead)
but yeah, i watched all this stuff happening live online and was glued to ANY newsfeed i could find.
its really strange because the whole thing never actually sank in until i got home and saw the footage being replayed on the news on the TV.
it was almost like i took everything the internet was telling me with a pinch of salt or maybe because i dont see the net as something "real" i dunno.
very hard to explain.
