<div dir="ltr">I was doing my first class of the first year of my Education degree at the University of Manitoba. The tvs in the Student Union building were running the story, but there were no real details yet. My first thought when I heard "an airplane hit one of the WTC towers" was "like, a Cessna or something?".<div><br></div><div>Classes were still being held as normal, so we were in a bit of a media bubble all morning. I had a Palm Vx with a Minstrel CDPD modem, so I was the only person, probably in the building, possibly on campus, with mobile internet. I was getting updates from CNN's mobile site throughout the morning.</div><div><br></div><div> [Yeah, I had internet in my pocket before it was cool. Probably made it easier to resist upgrading to the then ridiculously expensive smartphones a few years later.] <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Sep 11, 2020 at 9:54 AM spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_-2743785073238861517WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><u></u> <u></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dave Sill via extropy-chat<br><b>Cc:</b> Dave Sill <<a href="mailto:sparge@gmail.com" target="_blank">sparge@gmail.com</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [ExI] 9/11<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><br>>…I was sitting in my office at ORNL in Building 1000 …<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">>…-Dave<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dave, you’re a nuke guy?
