In Islamabad. Got back to the hotel to flick on CNN, just moments after the second plane had hit. Al Qaeda were already being suggested as the perpetrators. Was flying back to London on BA the next morning (was evening-time in Pakistan) and had to get up at 4am. Popped out to the bazaar to buy an alarm clock - there was quite an eerie atmosphere in the city. The next morning at the airport everyone was glued to TVs watching footage of the planes hit in a repeating loop. By this point Afghanistan and Pakistan were also in the frame. There was a flight to Kabul so a lot of afghans about too - everyone seemed genuinely appalled/shocked. That flight was the last out before BA cancelled all flights for like 2 months out of Pakistan. Was a bit nerve-wracking.
