Before 9/11/01 if you had asked me what the World Trade Center was then I would have been confused. I honestly didn't know what it was at all.
I was in the kitchen washing up dishes when I first heard what had happened. I had the radio on Radio 1 and was listening to Mark and Lard (comedy duo) and they announced the news at 2:53PM. My first though was 'What is the WTC?'. I didn't know what it was but I could tell by the sudden somber mood on the radio that this was a bad thing. Until I heard the news that a second plane had hit I thought it was just a rare accident. After that I knew it must have been done deliberately.
After I had finished the dishes I went immediately into the lounge to turn on the TV. The images I saw on there were like something out of a movie. It didn't really hit me that what was happening was real until later on. Watching those towers fall was the worst thing I had ever seen on TV.
