I was awoken by a phone call from a frantic parent of a college roommate to turn on the TV (he was in the air force, and she was freaked out).
I asked what channel, and she yelled "ANY CHANNEL!!!".
I then watched live as one of the twin towers fell to the ground, and Peter Jennings (who died of lung cancer since then, don't smoke guys!
) sat quiet for a couple minutes and didn't know what to say.
