I was in my my bedroom, which was a converted in the office building we were based in (where I worked 20 hour days and lived there as well), it was actually about 11pm on 9/11 in Brisbane (Australia).
I was watching the "West Wing" on my little TV (one of my ONLY luxuries), when they cut to a news break and reported what had happened to the first tower.
Straight after "West Wing" finished they went to live coverage, and I sat and watched the 2nd plane hit and then the Pentagon shit and then the flight that crashed.
I rang a bunch of people, first my mother, got many of them out of bed and said, "You had better turn on the TV, this is all fucked up".
I sat in front of the TV for nearly 48 hours without eating or showering, absolutely transfixed.
Watching the peeps jump was by far the most horrendous moment, followed by the dust covered survivors emerging from the "mist".
I said it then and I say it now.....
It was all fucked up.
