A lot of websites went down under the extreme load of everyone clicking “refresh” over and over.

I was at the office and people would call out when they got a news site to load. I clearly recall that cnn.com went to being text-only.

I was in Europe, and I knew it was middle of the night in Australia, the Australian news websites were loading, it was a static picture of the 2 towers with smoke billowing out of them...
