What were you doing when you heard, and what are you doing now?

Today I am at work.

In 2001 I was in bed, dozing when I heard, having just worked the night shift before. I got a text message from my ex saying "Have you heard the news?". I thought nothing of it (assuming it was related to someone in our social circle) and went back to bed, only to receive another text 20 minutes later from someone in another social group. At that point I saw my computer screen and had left it logged in to a talker. The message posting rate had skyrocketed, so I started reading and found out that way.

I also had never heard of the twin towers/WTC back then (although obviously I'd seen them on TV as part of the whole New York skyline...)

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Yet, I had never even seen them... or at least if I had they'd never really registered as anything! How much of a rock was I living under?
