I didn't find out until about 4pm GMT, on my way back from school, and I saw mum consoling one of our American friends and asked what has happened.

Oh, and today, I'm going to the hospital and then going out to the cinema with Rob.

I was at work in Docklands watching everything on the big TV in the meeting room with the rest of my department. I don't think we did very much work that day.

i was listening to Radio 4 in the bath.

In work, listening to it on the radio once the second tower was hit, and getting regular phonecalls from my then-partner and her housemates about how it looked on TV. Then round to theirs to watch it in moving colour once I was done in work.

I was at work when the news came through. There were emails flying about and glances being thrown around the room. People had dealings with people working in the towers (I worked in electronic banking). Someone in the department lost a relative, too. There were pictures flying about almost immediately.

Now, I'm sitting online at home and getting ready to go along to the local store for provisions.
