I was in Oakland, CA and had gotten up early to go for a hike with my fiancee and our dog that morning. When I started the car, NPR was on the radio. I think at that time, only one plane had hit. I shut off the car and went inside to turn on the TV. I watched both towers fall. We skipped the hike, but we ended up going to a friend's house to process. My boss told me to stay home.
