Suz,
I was watching our late news before going to bed when they cut over to New York just a minute or two after the first plane hit. Then the second went in and the reporter came to realise that this was a terrorist attack. I sat in my chair too horrified to move as the whole ghastly thing unfolded before my eyes. I knew that from the moment this outrage was committed our world would never be the same again. I wrote what I wrote above the very next day.
I'm so sorry you were so close to it.
Davo.
