Yes, I was travelling alone, about an hour off landing at JFK airport in New York. I was on the first plane diverted to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Met with unbelievable Canadian kindness - made contact again with family I was billeted to a couple of years ago. Found them via a local photography FB group.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social @HamonWry@mastodon.world I was at home in SE England when it happened - I noticed the Internet glitch out (as a lot of European traffic still went through USA back then), so instinctively switched to an analogue radio on BBC World Service (then on 648 KHz, a frequency now occupied by Radio Caroline). My enduring memory is a BBC reporter interviewing some USA diplomat, and unprompted the first thing he mentioned was the potential financial cost of this attack (rather than the suspected casualty figures)..
