I was at work and the host for our bill pay was in the square that was bombed. It generated many calls but i will say when I told customers what happened they just said okay when normally they fussed

@A MyMSTeam Member, So happy you survived the Pentagon attack. My company had 40+ people that had just renovated a huge conference room in the area that got hit and installed a lot of the IT so we were all watching to see if anyone we knew had been hurt. I lived and worked about 25 miles west of the Pentagon. It was a crazy day!
I was at the Pentagon in the chaos and the screaming and the smoke and the explosions and the fire and the injured and the buried alive… then, while frantically searching for a workmate’s husband, we got an announcement that a plane had turned around over Pittsburgh and was most likely coming back to finish us off. We were told to run for our lives. I loaded up whoever I could in my little tank-like SUV, drove over curbs and lawns into a city that was already in hiding. A normally busy place, pulling away from the Pentagon, we drove into a ghost town. I am so incredibly grateful for those brave humans on that plane that sacrificed their lives and saved the lives of countless others. What selfless souls. My heroes. They will forever be close to my heart.
@A MyMSTeam Member. Seeing that smoke, then realising the cause, must have made the events very real for you Steve, and very close.
Yes, I can understand your feeling vulnerable, so very near.
Over here, far away in New Zealand, our international airports will never be as relaxed as we were used to, neither will us Kiwis.
God bless 🫂🙏
I was on I-95 North. I actually the big black plume of smoke from the Pentagon attack. First time I felt vulnerability as an American.
I was at work in a 10 story building. I remember thinking what would I do if my building was bombed or someone tried to hit it with a drone or plane, and I was in a relatively short building. I truly felt for those in the towers.
