I'm heading off to bed

I'm heading off to bed after what has been a very surreal day. I just saw footage of the second plane hitting the tower that I hadn't seen before. It was taken by a cameraman down on the ground looking up. You see the plane just completely disappear in the building, and then a massage explosion. It almost doesn't look real. I just rewound and watched it a few times. It is all insane. I first heard about this when listening to Howard Stern on my way into work. I was in shock and called my Dad, telling him to put on the TV. I knew he wouldn't even have the news on. I realized just how 'connected' I am today. Between the radio and the internet I almost didn't need to have the news on. I had a continually streaming report of the news coming in.
I never thought I'd see something like this in my lifetime. It was probably a hopefull view, but I think we are just so isolated from the world. At this point I need to turn the tv off and crawl into bed and hope to get some sleep. And I'm fairly sure it will not be a good sleep.
