I recall hearing two jets fly over my house that morning (I used to live outside Annapolis) and I was wondering what that noise was about. BWI airport was just a few miles away and I was used to hearing distant aircraft but these guys sounded really close. I did not know that the attacks had happened until later.
We’re by a training base By 9am local it was so quiet here it was as eerie as scrambling fighters. And for a week
The only thing quieter was the phone lines from her to my family in NJ, NY, Conn. Just dead quiet
