In my own case, that morning was until the time, unremarkable.  I arrived at the university, had my 7:15AM Call with Purchasing to work over things that they had needed, and was settling in at my desk to get started.  
 
The hallway was abuzz with very random activity, more like when you knock over a hornet's nest than anything else.  
 
I took my headphones off to get a clearer picture of what was going on, and went back to the routine.  

I noticed that the internet was becoming quite slow.  In a large university, the internet would run well until something major happened in that time and place.  I was trying to hit the news site of the BBC, and it simply stopped loading. 

My boss and my team crowded around asking me what was up when some people began to get details.  The world had changed, and not for the better.  
 
Anger almost never effects positive change.
