Forever etched in my memory.
Rare morning at home with family nursing a cold when this occurred...watched it unfold live.

I was at work at Microsoft on a support call. I was remoted into a customer's system and in the middle of troubleshooting, the call and the internet connection dropped. We didn't know what was going on. The TVs in the area all went down, and we couldn't get to the internet.

I stripped a cat5 network cable and rigged an antenna for one of the TVs. Got a static filled broadcast from the local news station and found out what was going on. We were not getting calls, so we stood around that TV for hours in total shock.


My customer that dropped called me back about a week later. Seems he was in a building less than 1 block from the twin towers. Their power, network and phones were cut when the towers came down. They were evacuated for a week and couldn't get back in the office. They didn't have internet for a month.
