Living in Northern Virginia we were drawn into the confusion after the plane hit the Pentagon.
News stations reported additional hijacked planes (likely from the calls made by passengers on flight 93) but they were supposedly around DC. With communications jammed up, we could not locate friends and later learned many just walked out of DC.
Just a year or two ago I took my youngest two kids to tour the Pentagon, and we were quite touched by the memorial chapel and quilts sent in from all over the country.
Never forget!
If you ever change your mind about watching a 9/11 film, I can't recommend Paul Greengrass's "United 93" highly enough. It captures the day perfectly- no dramatization at all, almost like a documentary- and it hits all the right notes. I've probably watched it twenty times. My heart always rises up into my throat in the final scene, and I try to fight back the tears but I can't keep from weeping. You might find it cathartic.
Thank you!
