I remember lots of things. The panic and gridlock in DC as I walked several miles home (I was afraid to take the metro underground.) Cops cars all over the place like angry hornets. The smoke rising up from the Pentagon as I stood taking in the panorama of DC from various bridges.
And then later in the afternoon, the silence everywhere and the beautiful day outside when we went to the park. Save the sound of the occasional fighter streaking overhead every half hour or so.
