This is very weird. The main references I could find were of Thierry.

We quickly gathered around the TVs in our library and I could not believe what I was seeing.

One intrepid coworker and I ran up to our roof to see if we could verify any of these rumors, but we could see that the smoke from the Pentagon was blowing around and leading folks to believe there were multiple sources of fire. It was quite a view from up there, but kindof scary since our building is adjacent to the FBI and we were hearing about a 4th plane headed for DC. <br><br>(...)<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.wherewereyou.org/search/?searchtype=location&searchtext=district+of+columbia">www.wherewereyou.org/search/?searchtype=location&searchtext=district+of+columbia</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><br>September 13, 2001<br>(...)<br><br>But I was lucky; I merely sat in the office in horror with many similarly-effected co-workers as we braced for the worst.
