Got home from primary school and Joe had come round to play and we couldn’t watch cbbc because my mummy and daddy were watching the news instead.

Actually it was just my mum, my dad would have still been at work
Dropped my mate off at the dole office and the news on the radio said a light aircraft had hit the world trade. Turned the news on when I got home and it clearly wasn’t a light aircraft

In the car, on the way back from school. Radio 1 newsbeat. Sitting in the front seat probably
I was at work. I had a job instructing payments between banks, and I phoned up a colleague who worked for an American bank to check up on progress, who told me that nothing else would be happening that day and that I should check the news. I was a bit naive at the time and it took me a few hours before I realised just how serious things were, which was massively different from 7/7, which I had a bad feeling about from the start. Maybe I was older and wiser, or maybe 911 changed me
I was in the stockroom at my part time job.
The manager came rushing out in a bit of a panic to tell me. I didn’t really know what the WTC even was let alone the gravitas of it all.
At home, I had left school the summer that year and was unemployed. Was about to go to Tesco with my mum to do the big shop. Just watched BBC News all afternoon instead.
