I still don't know what the second explosion was. I'm watching local news trying to relay messages to my former carpool members who are stuck in DC. My house shook on the second explosion, but I didn't feel the original plane crash. I saw smoke over the Pentagon earlier but can't see it any more. Prevailing winds go the other way.

I've been out people watching. I live about 100 yards from I395 and can see where they closed off the highway. I395 goes past the southwest side of the Pentagon, the helipad, where the crash occurred. They're still trying to get backed up rush hour traffic off the highway and turned around. It's amazing that with a situation as horrendous as this that a few cars insist on clogging the shoulders and impede the myriad emergency vehicles trying to get through.

I hear there's another hijacked plane headed our way. It looks like a beautiful, Indian summer day in my neighborhood. Mother Nature is oblivious.
