Probably 9/11. I recall being at work that morning and listening to the radio (CJOB). I was confused at exactly what was happening...then, someone in the office called everyone in to watch what was going down on his television set. I watched both buildings crumble and remember losing my breath. I was shocked...I was saddened. I knew from that moment on that the world would never be the same.

I was listening to CJOB as well, in my office. I heard larry breaking in on the sports to say that a plane had crashed into the tower, and my first thought was, "Talk about bad piloting."
