As a matter of interest, I was in the Pentagon this morning when the
terrorist flew the airplane into it. I was in the C ring toward the middle
of the building. I heard nothing and felt nothing but we were immediately
alerted to leave the building which I did with 20,000 + others. I never knew
what the deal was until I exited the building and saw the black smoke looming
over the building. Then I walked toward the west side and clearly saw the
bombed area, etc. Then I left, on foot, to Fort Myer to get my parked car
and came home.
Reason I was in the Pentagon was because I have a part-time job as a
"military site representative" with George Mason University, a large
university here in Fairfax, Virginia where Ann also works and where she is
working on her Doctorate. I work in the Pentagon on Monday and Tuesday each
week and help advise military people on their quest for more and higher
education.
Anyway, I survived and I can always say "I was there!"
