I was watching some late show in bed when a news flash came on that a plane had hit. Then when news came that a second plane had crashed it became obvious that it was no accident. Then a third plane crashed and it was oh **** how big is this going to get? I was subscribed to Time magazine at the time and had read heaps about Al Qaeda's ambitions so it didn't take a genius to know who was behind it. I just remember those images of the planes smashing into the building and the buildings collapsing being played over and over. Looking up at a jet flying by after that took on a whole new significance. They were like an icon of terror.
