[quote=Anonymous]I was in the 14th floor of a Rosslyn VA high-rise.  My office window view was to the south.

We heard about the NYC attack (once the second plane crashed, it was clear it was an attack).

I tried to call my wife but could not get through.

I then called my mom (in Idaho).  We were talking about the phone when I saw a streak ending with a fireball at the Pentagon.  I told my mom they just hit the Pentagon. She said no-- it is in WTC.  I said I just saw it, she questioned it saying the news did not say anything.  Then the shockwave hit my building and she heard the boom through the phone.  I said I need to go.

I found a ride home, and when home.  I could not get a local exchange for calling, but could call to Idaho.  I had my mom call my wife (3 months pregnant), to let her know I am heading home.  I guided the ride to my house (I knew the backroads, he only knew I66, which was gridlocked.  Interestingly, we got home reasonably fast.

That was not a good day at work.
