I was working in my cubicle at Dealtime.com in Netanya, on the coast of central Israel, and somebody from across the room hollered at "you yanks" that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. At first, we thought they were kidding; at that time there were only a couple of Americans working in the office. We spent the rest of the day on the Sky News site; that was the only one we could get into. Even the management was pretty much glued to their monitors, and didn’t get after us for slacking off working that afternoon.
