I live in Queens, one of the creepiest feelings was coming home from school and try to watch the news to see exactly what happened.
But almost every local channel was broadcasting from the Towers. So like 80% of the channels were static.  It felt like the world was going to hell.

Back then it was dial-up internet.  I remember that refusing to work as well.  I sat down for like 10 minutes, confused, and creeped out that that we couldn't get direct information right away.

Kind of reminds me of the blackout on the whole east coast in 2004.
