Someone at work had a radio on and they broke in to make the announcement(s). Another coworker had a small TV so we watched the whole God-awful thing unfold. It was absolutely terrifying. Nobody knew what was going on and then President Bush went radio silent, disappeared. Simultaneously another of my coworkers received a phone call letting us know that our boss had succumbed to his cancer and had just passed away. She went into horrid wails of keening. So it's also seared in my mind.
