I was on a PC at school when the first news report came in over the internet that a plane stuck one of the towers. The news article I read made it sound like it was hit by a small plane, and not a passenger airline.
Then, nothing. Our internet went down. It turns out Comcast relied on the fiber under WTC 1&2 for a large part of their east coast backbone.
We found out that the first tower collapsed by (no kidding) standing outside of one of our teacher's cars and listening to his car radio.
