I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing and how I found out. Because the information was relayed by a local (non- news) person with no details (two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center), I immediately thought it was a hoax. Thinking it was 1) a small, private plane and 2) an accident, I thought the odds of it happening twice in one day were astronomical. Of course this being a deliberate, planned attack, with full size airliners never occurred to me as even a remote possibility.
A couple of hours later I found out differently.....
