Answer 3

we were on holiday and there were heavy storms the night before when princess Diana died and my father in law said after listening to the radio princess Diana has just died and i said yeah right course she has i couldn't believe it, also we were on holiday celebrating a friends birthday when 9/11 happened but we had no TV or newspapers so we were singing and laughing and joking all day oblivious to what had happened then we went to a pub that evening all laughing and joking and the bar woman said have you not heard any news today we said no why then she showed it to us on the telly and we all felt sudden shock and highly inappropriate for the way we had behaved that day.

Answer 4

I remember EXACTLY what i was doing when 9/11 all kicked off.
I was working in my friends parents garden demolishing stone pillars in order to erect a fence.

We heard his mother shout us in to see what was unravelling on the television. All of us, bar his father ran into the house and stood speachless in front of the kitchen television as the first of the towers came tumbeling down. While at exactly the same time, we could see his father through the window, he had started demoloshing one of the two remaining stone pillars in the garden with a sledge hammer.
Spooky.
