Thank you. Actually, I was probably a quarter of a mile from impact when I saw the fireball. Did not see the plane because we were overlooking DC thinking something would happen there. I remember knowing the instant I felt the concusion that it had been a plane. Since I was looking over the top of the Pentagon, my first thought was that it had hit the center courtyard. I was with three other people and we peeled off before going over the Potomac and spent the next 15 minutes trying to get out of the way of emergency vehicles. As we got back around on route 110 (I believe it was 110), we could see that the initial fire was along the whole side of the building (Probably from fuel).
Since that day, I ask just about everyone I meet, "Where were you when it hit?" I should be writing the stories down somewhere. I have talked to a number who actually saw the impact. Many did not sleep a wink for a week or more.
