I had gone home for lunch from school (was lunch time in UK when it happened) and remember my Mum was ironing watching some DIY show and all of a sudden the channel flicked to a live broadcast. When we seen the first tower in flames we were like 'shit thats bad'. When the 2nd plane hit I remember my Mum completely freeze with the iron in her hand and was like 'Oh my god, what the fuck.. that's intentional'. We sat in silence for most of it with the odd 'shit' being muttered. We couldn't believe we had just seen this happen. I didn't go back to school. It's awful to say because it was so tragic, but we were glued to the TV watching everything unfold. It was almost unreal, like we were watching a movie.
