Where were you on 9/11If everyone is going to play this game then so will I.

I had been working alone all day and then one of the bosses came up to tell me that an aeroplane had flown into the World Trade Center. I imagined a Cessna or something similar having come a cropper.

It was only when I went downstairs to look at the TV that I realised the situation was rather worse than that.

I felt more than a little vulnerable working next door to the Embassy and was glad to get away.
