That was the first moving footage I saw ... someone in the office managed to
get an aerial working on one of the conference room televisions, and they
had tuned it into Channel 5 (for some reason), and all we saw was one tower
standing and a huge amount of smoke ... and as we stood watching in awe and
fear, we saw the second tower collapse, live in front of us ... that feeling
and realisation of the enormity of what had happened thousands of miles away
was unbelievable.

I remember that I had phoned my now-ex gf, who had taken the day off work,
and had told her to turn Sky onto any news channel, and i heard the audible
gasp as she took in what had happened.  We ended up knowing more about what
had happened from my relaying her telling me what CNN were saying than we
could get from the overwhelmed news sites ...
