morbid curiosity?

that's certainly what I thought while watching the twin towers come down on TV in the pub next to my workplace in London. "Why am I watching this?" I thought to myself. But I couldn't tear myself away - and neither could anyone else in the pub - the scenes turned our stomach but we had to see more.

Today is different, I can't turn the TV off because I want to feel close to my home town, colleagues and friends. I feel so removed with the miles and the time difference between us. While the TV is on I feel I am connected to my fellow Brits, my old workplace and the people close to me. And so I am "working" from home with the TV on, trying to make sure everyone is ok. Thank God for the miracle of the text message...
