Where were you???

Working in Washington DC at the time when we heard the first reports of a plane striking the World Trade Center and then a second one. By the time we were able to get to a TV to see what was happening, we could see smoke coming from the Pentagon. We then started hearing rumors about planes striking the White House and the Capitol. Somewhere around 11, we were told to leave the building and go home. The city was in a complete panic, traffic was bumper to bumper with no place to go. Cell phones wouldn't work and people were out in the street with no idea of what to do next.
