I was there that day also. There was a very clear report of a large car bomb explosion at the State Department about an hour to an hour after the initial attack. It was on WMAL and also reported in DoD channels. The report was rescinded about an hour later with no explanation of what had happened. We were all expecting more events that day. The tension was palpable and intense.

I have spoken with some LEO in New York who said there were similar explosions in NYC. Whether that is true or not, I don't know. I do know that Freepers posted eye witness reports of coordinated, smoky fires that would have provided a path toward the Capital for any airplane.
