I was at work a woman said that a plane had hit the WTC, and it was on TV. I asked what kind of plane as I had read about the WW2 Army Air Corps bomber hitting the Empire State building back about 1945.
A bunch of us went into the conference room and on TV there was the WTC with smoke pouring out, I thought about how the firefighters were going to have a long climb up the stairs way past Wash Monument height, this was a huge deal. Then after about 1 more minute the second plane came in and hit the other tower. I then thought it was a movie preview for about 10 seconds, numb to what I just saw. It wasn't. And right then I knew as everyone else did that it was a terror attack. Then the Pentagon was hit. and the plane went down in Pa. It was like its happening all over the USA.
The plane that hit the Pentagon came over Centerville, Fairfax City, Springfield mixing bowl then went up I-395 to the Pentagon. It passed over where I was at near the Pentagon.
Later the Washington Post put a map of where that plane flew, and Air Force fighters from the only place (Langley Va) where they were armed with hot missiles where on the way up at full afterburner with orders to shoot it down. Lots of people who were not in the Pentagon also don't know how close they came that day.
Map is not the Post map that was in the paper. It shows however the official loop of the flight and what a observer thought was the path.
