We even "felt" it in New Zealand...

My sister in law rang us at about 6 in the morning on the 12th of September. I turned the telly on and made the children's school lunches as tears rolled down my cheeks... watching the two towers explode over and over again.

I rarely have the TV on in the morning, so my little children were keen to watch too, and then horrified when they realised what we were seeing.

I was teaching that day and the whole campus was sad and stunned.

New Zealand stopped that day too as our hearts went out to those involved.
