American Airlines Flight 11 North Tower 8:46 a.m.

I got the first phone call from my mom. The news was reporting a small light aircraft had crashed into one of the World Trade Center Towers.

Well, that's weird, I thought. I did a quick check of the internet news sites (CNN, MSNBC and ABC) but found nothing. I walked in and told my boss then went back to fixing my irksome little problem.
