Found out about the first impact just as I was getting off the park-n-ride bus in downtown Houston. Jumped on the elevator and rode up to the 25th floor for another dull day at work. Everyone was watching CNN on their PCs when the second one struck. There was a mild panic as everyone packed up and headed for the elevators. Had to catch a ride with someone since I'd ridden the bus. Cell phones were getting "all circuits are busy" messages. The parking garage and surface streets were jammed with everyone trying to get out of dodge.
