I’m in the UK - I was at home watching tv when it came on the news, with images of the towers. In the aftermath, it was literally the one time in my life that I was grateful that English football, a sport I really dislike, was on all the time - because it felt grounding and somehow comforting to know it was still on. All channels understandably had tons of 9/11 coverage and it was hard to get away from it.
I still hate football even now lol!
