Peter:
I'm living 5 minutes outside of D.C., and every morning on my way home from
working overnight, I go right by the Pentagon. I passed virtually under the
flight path of that airplane a few hours before it hit. Later that day, I
got on my bike and went back to work, crossing over the Potomac on one of
the few bridges open even to pedestrian traffic, from which I could see the
smoke from the Pentagon fire. And today, I got a real good look at the side
of the building where the plane hit, and I must tell you, it takes your
breath away. Televised images don't do it justice. It's still a bit early,
but I know I will know of people who were killed in there.
I agree with you, and to be sophomoric for a moment, today someone riding a
camel should be just a little nervous.
