Another topic got me thinking about this and I'm sure we all remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard about the attack.
I was sitting at the computer, playing a game that I'd been playing for enough months to become friendly with a lot of other players. Actually we used to "meet" every morning for coffee and a few games. We were a such a closely knit group that if someone wasn't there someone would ask about them.
The TV was on right next to my computer and when the newscast began I started typing what was being said. I'm not sure but I think my first words may have been something like "Oh My God America has been attacked!!!!" At first some people thought I was kidding but as I continued to type what the reporters were saying more and more people turned their TVs on and we shared our shock with one another over the internet. There were people there from other countries too. I particularly remember one Australian saying over and over that she couldn't believe that America was being attacked.
I took a few minutes away from the keyboard to call family and friends and tell them to stop whatever they were doing and turn their TVs on, then went back to my Psychobabble (name of the game) friends. Needless to say, the game had come to an abrupt end and we continued to use the site for hours that day sharing news that was being broadcast in different cities and countrys around the world.
That's what I was doing on 9-11. How about you?
