Working in a server closet for a federal defence contractor near the Pentagon. Co-worker popped in and told us about the first plane and we pulled out a TV for more info. Watched the second hit live and everything changed from accident to attack. We were told to evacuate the building and leave the area immediately. I was on my way home when the Pentagon was 'hit'.
I remember trying to get calls and texts out to friends and family but the service was so flooded that both were totally useless.
Spent the rest of the day with friends drinking HEAVILY and hoping for news on other friends of ours.
We lost 2 that day.. 1 from DC, 1 in the S. Tower.
Didn't drink heavily enough that day, everything's still vivid, unfortunately.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77408763 We were neighbors 8763. I worked for Arlington Co govt and spent the following three weeks, 12 hours a day, close enough to throw a rock through the hole in the Pentagon. We were immediately given first gen Blackberrys with direct-connect (walkie-talkie feature, for the youngens reading) to bypass the clogged phone system.
