I remember that in the interval between the first and second plane, TV commentators were speculating that a small plane may have hit accidentaly. No one had seen the first plane hit and no one was sure what had happened. I was watching CNN.

Any doubt was pretty much dispelled when the 2nd plane hit, you could see right away it was an airliner and it seemed to happen in slow motion. I remember I could not quite believe what I had seen and even the CNN news anchor were speechless for what seemed an eternity, although you could hear voices gasping in horror in the background.

I have to admit even after all these years, I still get a bit choked up thinking about it....
