It was approx. 11p.m. in Sydney & I was very tired. I was switching channels on the TV b4 turning it off, when the female newsreader was telling us what they thought, was a light plane, had crashed into the WTC. They showed vision over & over. I remember seeing on the Donohue Show years earlier with all these ppl coming into his studio with black on their top lips & wondered what had happened. A bomb had gone off at the WTC.
My husband came home at 11.10p.m. & I was telling him what had happened. We kept watching the TV when a 2nd plane crashed into the other tower. I couldn't believe what was happening.
A while later we heard of the attack on the Pentagon & the plane going down in Pensilvania. At that stage I felt sick in the stomach & the reporter was saying that 2 planes had deliberately flown into the buildings & a terrorist attack was happening.
I was now wide awake & couldn't leave the TV. People were crying & running, away from the buildings.
Then the unbelievable happened, the 1st building collapsed. I said to my husband, how can a building that big collapse so quickly. Then the 2nd building went. Paper, smoke & debris was falling all over the place. The lucky ones were running for their lives, everyone the same grey color.
I sat up all night as all the TV stations were broadcasting non stop, no advertisements all night. All regular programming was stopped. When I woke my son up to go to school, I told him there was no cartoons this morning & told him what had happened.
There was nothing else on TV for a few days b4 regular programming slowly returned.
I found out at a meeting of my garden club, that the son of a local couple, who lived in my suburb was killed at the WTC.
