The internet sucked as a means of getting information on 9/11. I spent
about 20 minutes hitting every news site I could think of, and they had
all tanked. I set an away msg on IM:
"Internet news sucks, I'm going to watch CNN."

I made it to the support center when the first tower fell. It took that
long for someone to come tell me that all this stuff was going on, for me
to give up on the internet and actually make it to a useful news source.

When I finally did go back to my desk to work we turned on a radio that
all of us could hear from our cube farm and tried to resume normal
operations while keeping up to date.
