None of us in our office building actually heard the explosion. Might of if we had been outside. My Wife just remebered seeing the plane and thinking it was awful low and an unusual pattern for an airliner. It is not unusual for military aircraft especially those performing the missing man fly over for Arlington. It is not the pattern for Regan National. We did not know anything until a few minutes later when we started getting phone call reports and seeing the smoke from the Pentagon. There were a lot of sirens in the entire area from all emergency vehicles in the area heading to the site. One of her fellow employees was at the bus stop at the Pentagon. They were very much shaken with the blast and experience. There were a number of others in the bus stop shelter. Some started running and he told them to get back under the shelter. They did not receive any falling explosive stuff, but it was his fear at the time. He said the explosion almost knocked him off his feet. The sad thing was the next day at work when people started hearing the names of friends and associates killed. As I stated, my next desk over fellow employee (Mike) lost his Brother. One of his other Brothers is the President of the Pentagon Memorial Fund. I understand the ground has been broken for the Memorial but they are only at about the half way point for funds needed. Below is a recent news paper article for anyone interested.
