Mit Romney's 2 Versions of 9/11...which one is true?

Romney's description of his 9/11 experience in a speech today differs in one detail from his recollection in his 2002 memoir. A Romney spokesman did not respond to a BuzzFeed request of clarification of how Romney learned of the attacks.

"I was on the phone to Salt Lake City, doing a radio interview. The interviewer interrupted to say there were reports that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I hung up and turned on the small TV in the office."

"Someone rushed into our office and said a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I turned the small TV on desk there and watched in shock as flames and smoke erupted from the north tower."

that doesn't remember exactly where they were, and their story NEVER changes. * had multiple stories, too. What is WRONG with these people.

And I remember feeling afraid - since I was at work and my kids were at school and I was separated from them....no one knew what was going on and all I wanted to do was go get my kids, and I did.
