   Oh, part of the Pentagon got taken out by the wreckage; a friend of mine was on Secretary Rumsfeld’s security detail and got knocked on the floor by the impact…

   Thank you. First day of chemo was rather less than sterling, as I wound up with many of the possible side effects… :P

    I was driving to work at Drexel in Philadelphia when the first tower and the Pentagon were hit. I wound up rescuing a nice elderly lady who’d been evacuated from a NYC-bound Amtrak train; installing her in a faculty lounge until her kids could drive down and get her…

    9/11 wound up killing my mother.

    She was stranded in Maine with no way to get at the chemo which was holding back her cancer. We got her home a week later, and she died at home with her family around her.
