I'm in the Washington, D.C. area and work in a government building, right across the river from the Pentagon. I had just gotten to work when word came through that the Pentagon had been attacked. That clinched it for me. I told everyone on my team to pack up and leave. From my 6th floor window I could see people streaming out of other buildings; it was madness. The commuter trains and part of the subway system were closed, leaving people stranded. Eventually the subway opened up again and I was able to get home after a few hours. September 11, 2001...a date that will live in infamy.
