e) in the lobby of my office bldg, where they have a TV, just coming in to work. i saw the second plane hit, and we knew then that it was not an accident. we were supposed to downtown to go to downtown DC for a satellite trade show, but the city was locked down and obviously it was all cancelled. we have an air traffic control display of the US where i work and it's normally speckled with white dots, and it was very spooky to see all of them disappear when the planes were grounded. the entire company was gathered around the big-screen TV on our floor for the rest of the day, and we all went home early.
