Reply #18: It was late at night here in my country and I was living on uni campus

I was preparing to go to bed after a long and exhausting day. Was trying to do some notes for a tutorial but was too tired and decided to call it a night. Before doing so, I glanced at my favorite online newspaper to see if they'd updated their webpage with that day's newspaper edition and read the news. Kept trying to access various webpages after that that traffic was jammed and all sorts of rumors and innuendo were flying about regarding bombs that had gone off and the like

I stayed up the entire night glued to the TV -all channels were broadcasting live feeds from American or British channels -and trying to get the latest from the web. Around 6-7AM I finally decided I should get some sleep before my tutorial but, just as I was lying down, my dad phoned up to see if I'd heard the news. Of course it was the main topic of conversation throughout the campus and at university that day. It felt and still feels so surreal in the most horrific way possible
