We were living in Los Angeles with 2 young kids. We were oblivious at 8:46AM ET because of the time difference. After we put the kids in the car, my husband left to take them to school and turned on the radio. He called me from the end of the driveway and said “Turn on the television. The World Trade Center has been hit by a plane.” I then gave him a hysterical moment-by-moment of what I saw on TV – including the tower collapsing – over the phone until he got to work. I decided I had to go to work, even though I didn’t want to at all. We were all there, but no one worked all day. We just were hitting Refresh on our computers all day long. Management didn’t care. They did the same thing.
How much time would it have taken to see what a Formula 1 car actually looks like before writing this gag?Not impressed.
