I was driving to work, heard it on the radio and thought it was a
joke, especially when they mentioned a second plane. Got to work and
saw in on cnn.com. Got an email from the managment saying that we
could go home if we wanted to, so I did and spent the day watching tv.

I was getting ready to go to school, just happened to flip on the TV before
I left - then it was me sitting on the couch, speaking out loud saying "oh
my god" - then thinking:
"What if they fly into Abbot labs in Waukegan (about an hour south of me) -
they have level 4 bio-hazards there!"

I was at work on IBM's main campus in RTP NC. We like Matt we first
heard that it was a small plane, and knowing that one time a plane hit
the Empire State Building I assumed it was an accident.

Our internet connection was almost immediately overwhelmed (big
surprise) so I went out to the car to get a radio. In the corridors
they had these big monitors hanging from the ceiling that usually had
IBM TV but someone had switched them to a news feed and I got out there
just in time to see the first tower fall.

They locked that site down, all the entrances except the main one were
closed and a lot of people were told they could go home (not my
department however).

A lot of people forget what it was like right after the attacks. No one
really knew what was happening, who was behind it, or if another attack
was imminent. IBM's main site was seen by a lot of people as a target,
and their security people took it seriously.

I drove through Cary on the way home and it was creepy, police cars ALL
over the place.

The next few days stayed strange, my commute took me down I-40 past RDU
Airport and it was so weird not seeing any planes.
