I vividly remember watching the South Tower collapse live on TV and saying to my wife ‘if the total obliteration of the ultimate symbol of the modern world’s obsession with money so quickly wasn’t meant as a direct wake-up call from Above, then what is?
Then it struck me that I had also just watched 1000+ people die in the space of a few seconds. I remember feeling very very frightened and wondering if we had just entered a new and unknown era.
