I was at work and got the news from a buddy that was in the breakroom. At first I thought he was talking about a Cessna or something. Walked back to the breakroom just about the time the second plane hit.

My wife had just gone back to work from maternity leave. She was about a block from the Pentagon when it got hit. Naturally she was in full panic mode when she called. With all the planes grounded,she couldn't get home. Couldn't get a rental car or on a train either.

My truck was packed and I was about 15 minutes from heading back east to ger her the [censored] outta there when she called and said she was finally able to get a flight home.
