Some of us thought there was a bad Hollywood film playing, and some thought it was animation. Someone was on a plane (yikes!) between Vienna and London, and someone else was actually helping a friend pack for New York ("She can celled her tickets, of course"). Some of us are pissed that the exchange programme didn't work out that well for them that year, and someone else is just too much of a Wag the Dog fan ('I see an election coming. I predict the death of Osama Bin Laden'. Anyone?).
The winning entry, though, is this one. Thankyou, Shalinee Ghosh, for playing this round!
"In the elevator! A lady got on at the 5th floor and I blurted out - do you know the WTC has been hit by an aircraft - my brother in law is supposed to leave for the US today and he just called. Seems to be some kind of a terrorist activity. I am rushing off to watch it on TV at my In-law's since we do not own one. And she clearly shocked out of her wits - said Oh my God........ really.... you dont own a TV - how do you survive.... the rest of the conversation was a blur. I ran the two blocks and up to the 3 rd floor and as I was entering the house the second plane crashed into the building."
