I had worked the entire night on the TGPDevil script which was still in its infancy and had only been in bed an hour or so when my girlfriend came in and told me a plane hit the WTC. I remember thinking "so fucking what". I guess in my head I just assumed it was a little cessna or something like that.
I heard her scream from the living room a few times, but she has a penchant for drama so I continued to ignore her. Finally she came in crying and told me to "get the fuck out of bed, they hit the Pentagon, WW3 just started". I still thought she was full of shit until I hit the hallway and heard Tom Brokaws voice cracking like he was in tears. That sent a chill down my spine before I even saw the TV.
Needless to say, I couldn't believe what I saw. The next few hours were spent crying, gassing up the cars, calling friends and family, and buying ammunition and food. I really didn't think I would need it, but it gave me something to do instead of sitting at home feeling helpless.
