I was on a military base in KS and made it to my friends quarters b/f the 2nd one hit. DH was out of town and unreachable, as usual. Both kids were in school. We had just moved from the Pentagon and the spot hit was my DH's old office so that was horrible as he knew folks who died. Within minutes I looked out and saw armed guarded with M16's on top of all the buildings on Post. Getting in/off post was a nightmare after that b/c they had to beef up the security posts and man them 24/7.
My BIL's pal was a United pilot who was airborne at the time and was telling my BIL what the pilots were being told. It was very scary for them before they all landed. The smartest thing FAA did that day was ground ALL aircraft.
