Was idling chatting in IRC instead of doing my job at the computer. Suddenly someone writes that a plane crashed into the WTC. It is on CNN. I turned on, and yeah, so it was. I turned my back to the tv and chatted on, speculating about why, then the speaker on tv got excited and the second plane crashed into the WTC. Untill then I believed it was an accident. I did think terrorism, but nah, unlikely. When the 2nd plane hit, I knew it couldn't be anything but terrorism.
I distinctly remember someone writing about how this would affect the whole world, kind of like kicking to a hornets nest full of abrams tanks or something. And the comment from another chatter was "Poor world".
How right he or she was.
