I had popped into Dixons on the high street to look for a TV to buy. I looked around for a few minutes, then, I saw a few people in the shop shout and run towards the TV screens. All the TVs were tuned in to the same station - I saw a plane fly towards one of the twin towers and crash into it...
I thought, "what a good movie." After a few minutes another plane came flying and I hear someone say "it's not a movie, the twin towers have been attacked!" The rest is history.
