[Newsman]

As my nick says, I actually am a newsman -- I was producing at WCBS-AM (one of the two big all-news radio stations in NYC) when the first plane went in.

Up until that point it was a normal, run-of-the mill day. It was actually primary day in New York City and I was on the phone with one of our reporters, talking about where she should go.

That's when three things happened at once -- a service that we have that monitors police and fire radio frequencies started going nuts, a phone call came into the newsroom about something hitting the World Trade Center and one of the morning drive anchors poked his head out of the studio and said "Hey, there's some smoke coming from Lower Manhattan -- any idea what it is?"

Then, and as we all know this isn't just a turn of phrase, all hell broke loose.
