🇺🇲 9/11...do you remember where you were?

I was at work, the news came through that two planes had hit the twin towers. I can remember thinking I'd never even heard of the twin towers before. I spent the whole day wondering what was going on.

One of my colleagues suggested WW3 would commence and my normally reserved and professional boss just said with a modicum of genuine exasperation....."f**king arabs"
