I had been working bar the night before, so I was in bed...
I have a habit of leaving my stereo on all night, because I need some background noise to fall asleep to, and I left it on WNEW.
The first thing I heard in a half sleep/half awake mode was Craig Carton complaining that some idiot flying a Cessna had a heart attack (of course, it was the first thing we all thought)
I kinda dozed off again, but then I snapped awake when I heard Blain say, "Now you gotta think this is terrorism or something." (this was after the second plane hit)
I was up in about 2 seconds, TV on, computer on, on the phones.
The worst part for me was not knowing where my parents or brother were at the time - they were ALL traveling, and to hear the phrase, "There might be more hijacked planes..." REALLY freaked me out, especially since my parents were on a cross-country flight.
The Giants playing Monday Night Football on 9/10 saved a lot of lives - a lot of people watched the game and then decided to go into work an hour or so late... which in turn kept them out of harm's way.
