I was 3 months pregnant and was at home with my 2 and a half year old watching Bob the Builder when all programmes were cut short to show us the unfolding news. It was unbelievable - I remember sitting down slowly not quite being able to take in everything I was seeing. I watched as others did in horror at people jumping from the top floors and shuddered thinking how bad it must have been inside for them to think that jumping was the better option.
At the time I thought my little boy wasn't watching as Bob had ended he turned his attention to his cars but for months afterwards he would draw airplanes crashing and buildings on fire - it made me feel really bad for a long time. However at 12 he does not remember a thing about it and watched the TV programme last night and was shocked by what he saw. So many questions from my children as to why it happened and how. God forbid it ever happens again
