I was at work and a coworker heard about it on the radio on her way in. She turned on the TV and we saw the second bldg get hit, then both towers come down. I'll never forget her saying, "it's gone" after the first one went down. After the Pentagon was hit, they decided to evacuate all "non-essentials" (I'm a feddie). Driving home was surreal, as the radio kept saying another plane was headed toward DC, the same direction I was going.

The plane that hit the Pentagon likely flew over my house (we are a couple miles west) and many of the injured were brought to the hospital which is a couple blocks from us. Could hear sirens and helicopters most of the day.

I'm planning to see the new memorial at the Pentagon soon. After dark, when it is lit up.
