The clock radio went off: I heard about an airplane crashing into the WTC, and I thought, "Huh, a plane hit the WTC (thinking it was a single-engine plane; something small), what kinda pilot does that?" Then I hit the snooze bar, and caught some more Zzzs.

It was my first week at my new job, and I was driving to work when they reported the news over NPR.
