Stories from those in the region who were impacted that day.

Personally - I was in 7th grade in a school about 5 miles south of the Pentagon - and I didn't understand the severity of the situation until the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower. Somebody told us that a building in New York had collapsed and I thought they were saying it was a demolition at first - and then the 2nd plane hit, and then the Pentagon was hit and some of my classmates started getting scared - I'm assuming because they had parents that worked at the Pentagon or in DC. School was released early after that.

Without going into details . I had two very good friends who lost loved ones in the Towers ,my Father in Law was suppose to be at the Pentagon that day and was not and my brother in law who was also in the Trade Center Complex the first time the parking garage was bombed was lost and out of contact for about 4 hours .
