So there I was on 9/11, a British guy on business in Boston, wondering (amongst many other things) how badly my parents would worry when they heard the news. I was pretty sure the international phone circuits would be clogged, so didn't even try; I jumped into IRC and eventually reached a friend who knew my parents in real life and gave them a call.
