I was in my home office and I got a call from my office in Arlington, VA, down the street from the Pentagon. One of my co-workers was at a starbucks and saw the plane approach the building, he said you could hear the engines winding up to full power as they made impact. He said they hit at full throttle. He said the fireball and explosion was huge. The rest of the day I was tuned in to the tube. My young sons who had visited the tower a week or so eailer said..."That is fake, right dad?" No son, its real. He cried for a while and it was 3 years before I could get him into a plane and it was a white-knucle drill for the first few flights.
IMO most of this country nor the current admin still does not have a full grasp of the kind of people we are dealing with.
