I remember the day well, I was working in America at the time, about 20 mins from the Pentagon. I was a home school tutor and had just started working with a young girl when the nanny came in and told me I had to go and pick up my bosses other daughter from school. I didn't know what was going until I jumped into the car and put the radio on - I couldn't comprehend what had happened. I must have been on auto piolt because I have no idea how I got to the school and back again, I clearly remember seeing the Pentagon and the smoke but i don't remember driving the car or the route I took or anything.
I got home and then had to head into Washington DC to look for my boss, they worked for the state department and rumors were flying in that the state department had been blown up. It was horrid racing over there and trying to find them, but they had closed the roads off and it was hopeless I couldn't get in to find them. Luckily the building hadn't been blown up, I don't know how I would have told their children had it been a different story. They were safe and well, unfortunately a couple of my friends weren't so lucky, they lost their lives in the twin towers....
