I was doing a tiling job at Michael John's hairdressers in Mayfair they had TV's on and I watched it there, went out to buy a coffee and found a brand new fuji digital camera in a leather camera case so I was happy to find such a nice camera but truly gutted to see what was happening T.V,I couldnt believe what was happening and was shocked when the 1st tower collapsed , its terrible what human beings are capable of doing to one another

I spent all day up on a roof, fixing battens and rooftiles. Only found out when my best friend phoned me and then we watched the rolling news together - well 200 miles apart but in sync, at least. Grim day for all. RIP.

Very shocking and sad day, so many innocents.
Not a nice sight for many.
I was was a timber machinist at the time and had a radio in my ear defenders, shocking to listen to.
RIP all.

I was doing a load of dry linning in million pound house and was on my own that day and allways listen to my radio, for some reason I did'nt switch it on or the batteries had run out...did'nt find out until 4 PM until the guy who lived there came home and started talking about it, did'nt have a clue what he was on about.
Switched his tv on and it was total shock, the other halfs company she worked for had offices in the towers as well..

I was just topping off a roof with ridges in Arnside when the customer came and told us, I really thought he was joking or exaggerating.It wasn't until I got home that the true horror became apparent to me. Very sad day for mankind.

You make a good point about people jumping from the buildings, two French guys were doing a film about NY fireman and were there on the day to witness the horrors and one thing that stands out you could here the sound of bodies hitting like a canopy around the lower part of the building, sickening...proves how desperate things were..
