I was working in downtown Baltimore...initially we thought it was an accident with a small cessna plane as that weekend before, a small plane has hit another building elsewhere.....and then we watched the rest of the events unfold online...many of us started panicing because we worked next to a gov't building....I remember calling one of my co workers....a doctor on his way to a conference near the pentagon (and also muslim...mind you we still didn't know what happened but it just didn't look good) and told him the first chance he gets to turn around and get home. I remember another friend of mine around 10am and he was trying to get across the brooklyn bridge and then the phone went dead....I remember talking to him aweek later and how he told me that he was late going to work and if he didn't just happen to stop in a coffee shop (lateness be damned) he would have been dead...he lost all of his coworkers that were on the upper floors. I remember also calling friends in DC and freaking out for about 3 days until I could account for everyone.....and luckily no one was hurt...
