I remember coming out of a meeting that morning finding my secretary in the hallway hysterically crying about a plane hitting one of the Towers. I assumed it was some hapless Cesna.

We then had a helluva time getting any internet bandwidth to check the news. When someone was finally able to connect to a news site, a bunch of us stood around the monitor and watched the first tower collapse. Grown men sobbed. It makes me weep to even write this.
