The next day, on local Toronto news I see an old friend from high-school and his sister being interviewed. They were in tears because my friend's Brother-in-law, his sister's husband was on the top floors of the WTC when the plane hit.
Can't remember which tower it was. But he worked for a bond firm and was there just for a meeting that morning. Cantor Fitzgerald lost half their employees that morning. Canadians, British, India, were there for just a few days before they flew back home to the other offices around the world.
He sent a message to his wife from his Blackberry that just said "I love you". Tragic. Wife was pregnant with their 2nd child.
I don't mean to be morbid, but that was my 9/11 experience.
