10:59 am September 11, 2001 Washington DC near the Pentagon

Hi everyone,

Just to let you all know that I am OK. I'm in DC right now and been told this system will be shut down ASAP.. Maybe this will get out first.

I can't leave DC right now, and been told to stay where I am. Don't know when I'll head home, but could be tomorrow or maybe later even.

Anyway, I'm fine and staying put for now. Just been told to send this because it's being shut down.

Love John

Hi everybody,

Ok....things have finally settled down a little and we can think again. I've never seen so many guns out in the open as I did today. FBI etc. rushed into the streets and wouldn't let anyone in or out. Most roads closed in and out of DC. Lots of traffic. I've been told to stay close to a phone and put on emergency recall. I have been told that I might have to come in and work an emergency situation room (communication etc.), but I doubt I get that call tonight. I got home fairly easily, due to the fact that I stayed until after 2:00 PM and everyone else had already left.

Anyway, nothing really to report from here. I know just about what you do from the TV. I don't know yet if I'm supposed to go in tomorrow or not.
Should hear soon.

I'll call after the phones get better.

John
