MTV maybe? I basically lived in the architecture building at school. I'm very sketchy on when I knew what during those years. Hey, living off of 4 hours of sleep a night can do that to you.

12. When terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center .
I was late for work. The radio came on and the morning DJ's were talking about a plane going into the Trade Center. They weren't sure whether it was a joke, I wasn't sure whether the dj's were making a joke. They did think it was an accident. I turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit the tower. I ended up calling the office to tell them what had happened and keeping everyone updated. I don't think I made it to work until that afternoon.
