I am the assistant manager of a public house in Whitstable, Kent, Uk. At the time the first plane hit a friend and myself were on a break from work watching Sky Sports, there was a breaking news flash on the screen so we changed channel to Sky News, and we were transfixed to the screen to see such things happen. We forced the rest of the public house to watch what was unfolding at the time, just then the second plane hit. We couldnt believe it. People who had come into the pub for lunch just stood there in shock. For the rest of the day we just watched the news. Then when the unbeleivable happened and the WTC collapsed it became too much for some of the people too watch. My colleagues at work still cannot beleive what happened and that it was over 3 years ago.
