I was a couple miles away from the Pentagon at a training event for my job at a telecommunications company. I got into work and within 5 minutes they called everyone out of the room to watch the first tower on fire. Then everything else took place.

I was living in Bayonne, NJ during the time. It's right across the river from Manhattan. I drove home that day at 4pm to my wife who was pregnant. I remember driving over the bridge to get home and all I could see was smoke where the towers were.

The drive home was nuts. I was cruising at 90 MPH and I was being passed by every kind of emergency vehicle you can imagine as if I was not moving at all.
