Baffled
Day off work. The investment bank I was working for had offices in the towers. Lots of stories from colleagues who said they changed their routine that day to stop off for coffee or whatever and that's what saved them.
The business was up and running out of Jersey almost immediately. Business Continuity which had sometimes been a bit of a check box exercise became very serious.
A few months later I moved to another firm whose NY office had been in the towers. Lots of similar stories. A developer told me he was watching it live on the news trying to copy data off a server. When the second plane hit the transfer stopped. Sounds stupid bit it still gives me the chills.
