    Sitting at home, other side of the planet, chatting to friends on IRC - somewhere around midnight local time.

    Someone suddenly said “A PLANE JUST HIT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER THE PICTURES ARE HORRIBLE” - turned on the TV, a few minutes later the news started filtering in.

    I had work in the morning, so I had to go to bed within a couple of hours. My overall thoughts on the night:

    • Fuck.
    • Gotta admit, that was clever.
    • Hoooo boy there’s going to be trouble over this
    • Fuck.
