Everything paused.
I just remember being at work in the UK - a slow day and the boss away - and then suddenly a rash of phone calls and the internet slowing down - my brother at home with a whole bunch of people all watching Sky News and saying how nobody knew who had done it and nobody knew how many planes where missing.
All the people crowding round TV screens in shop windows down in the street - how quiet everyone was - lost for words - I said to Mark that this seemed like the beginning of world war three but had no idea of the identity of those involved.
The fires and the huge clouds of smoke trailing across the sky line and then everything paused as the towers went down - and I couldn’t comprehend that - buildings of that size - massive buildings - - all at once.
I always thought about what I’d do - who I’d call - how I’d get out of it - but imagine getting past all that and knowing without a doubt it’s all to no avail - how it was an average day and there was no real warning or indication and could be just like any other minute of any other day - no significance to September 11th that I knew of - not the case now.
I had never considered that something on that scale was a threat to everyday living until that day - now I look at places like London and just keep thinking it’s all a matter of time - it doesn’t really affect how you go about your life - but at the back of your mind you know - you see the news stations just primed for it - like they’re on starters orders.
