[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not being a smart ass, but use common sense. On 9-11, I worked in downtown DC. When all hell broke loose, I was shocked at how little sense my coworkers had. They were waiting for our boss to give guidance and authorize them to leave. I was 22 and had enough sense to buzz past him, exit the building, [b]and board the empty train. [/b]

I got out of DC easily because I left immediately. Rule #1-- leave at the first sign of trouble, and don't be afraid to use your best judgment. Don't rely on the people in charge to have the best judgment in a crisis. [/quote]

It is NOT common sense to get on a public train during a terrorist attack.[/quote]

I have a relative who worked in the Pentagon on 9/11. The metro was shut down.[/quote]

It wasn’t shut down right away. I left my Farragut West office right after the Pentagon was hit and rode to Arlington Cemetery before they made everyone de-board and shut down. At least I was a little closer of a walk to my Ballston apartment. I was one of the barefoot women. Since then I never ever go anywhere without having sneakers or at least comfortable flip flops with me if I have on uncomfortable heels. [/quote]
