I had been working with my current company for about six months at the time. My job back then was to travel to customer sites every week to do software installs. I was on "bench duty" (work from home office) that week and luckily did not have to travel. I was awaken by a call from one of my wife's co-workers explaining that a plane hit the first tower. I was half asleep and didn't believe it. I turned the TV on and within minutes the second plane hit. I was in complete disbelief. I was very happy that I was at home with my wife and kids. Later that day I did hear a military jets fly over my house and, as Mike-in-Orange said before, it was quite freaky and sent chills down my spine. Luckily, none of my co-workers were in the towers that morning and everyone was accounted for.
