If the following two sentences are both correct, do they mean the same thing?

1) We WERE cut off in the middle of conversation.

2) We GOT cut off in the middle of a conversation.

Thank you.

@paok1970,
Yes they mean the same thing, but stylistically the general rule is to avoid the word 'got' wherever possible.
