The morning of 9/11 I turned the TV on and there she was talking about there must be a problem with the air traffic control as we watched the aftermath of the first plane in the WTC.

All of a sudden we see a second plane hit, giant fireball, everyone gasps and what comes out of Couric’s mouth -
“ Oh, no - well, indeed it does appear there is in fact a problem with air traffic control “

Ponder that for a moment. Bright sunny day and two planes fly into the tallest buildings in NYC and she thinks it was a problem with the traffic controllers? What average thought process would cause anyone to come to that conclusion? None - only a moron would come up with such a conclusion.

It would be amusing to see this footage out on the Interwebs.

I don’t think that was a particularly stupid question for ‘94. I personally didn’t get online ‘til ‘95 and even then a lot of people thought it was ‘geeky’.

I couldn't tell you if I heard of the internet in '94-I know I didn't have an opportunity to use it (at work) until late '95 and I wasn't online on my own computer until '96. And like you said, it still seemed a geeky thing.
