I was working nights and was running late for work so I didn't watch the news before I left the house.

I get into work and start getting my kit together to jump on a motor and wonder why everyone is watching a video so early in the afternoon.

Then it became apparent that it wasn't a video.

The one thing I can remember more than what we saw on the news was how different people were that night.

Even in the UK I think it still had an effect. Certainly the people I came across at work all seemed to be slightly subdued and one patient I dealt with who was having quite an obvious myocardial infarction just talked constantly about the days events despite being rather unwell.


Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
