[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been thinking about this a lot. It likely won't matter, but my biggest irrational fear is being stuck in DC if it happens. If I am going to die, I want to be at home where I love it, not at my fed job, which I now resent.[/quote] There's a scene in the Walking Dead where a woman describes her boss telling them not to leave their office/jobs in DC and how she kills him to try to get home to her family. I think about that more than I should.[/quote] I was working in Crystal city on 9/11 and we saw the fireball when the plane hit the Pentagon. We were told we couldn’t leave. Go that- at the time people weren’t even certain it was a plane and there were false reports that they were going to bomb buildings in DC. I ran down to my car and floored it out of the underground parking lot and made it to my parents’ home 20 miles south before all the roads shutdown. Ironically, my dad was in a training and they decided not to tell anyone what was happening so by the time he got out all the roads were shutdown and he was stuck and didn’t make it home until 6pm. I would do what that lady did …lol The lesson on 9/11 was to fight back and to trust your instincts (those that went back in the building because they were told it was safe when it turned out not to be)[/quote]
