Working as a courier in San Diego. I had been laid off from my aerospace job. Heard it on my car radio. I remember fearing there could have been 10,000 people killed in the WTC. I knew right away it was those damned A-rabs and not George Bush.

I was familiar with typical office building occupant density levels and typical floor sizes, and had come up with a range at that number and higher myself. The actual casualty level being so much lower was a bit of a silver lining to me, as odd as that sounds.
