[President Barack Birther Obama] These are not opinions to be debated these are facts
to be dealt with. [NBC Katie Couric] denied on tuesday
[NBC Pentagon eyewitness Isabel James]I don't see any other smoke anywhere
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] L'enfant plaza station to pentagon city [NBC Channel 4 Joe Krebs] OK
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] continue your
commute or if and that's the yellow line
or if you are on the blue line you would
get off at [NBC Katie Couric] Tom, uh, Matt and Bob, apparently a senior official from the
radical democratic front for the liberation of Palestine
denied on Tuesday
[Channel 4 Megan McGrath] I'm assuming that you can hear and see me at this point. We
are on Columbia Pike. If you take a look behind my shoulder you can see the south
side of the pentacon (sic)
actually just moments before this happened after the world trade center
incident we were headed from a different location to National Airport.
We were on 395 when all of a sudden we heard a boom
and we saw this huge fireball rise
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] of course nearest the Pentagon itself
and in addition to that we're not sending trains across the yellow line bridge
so we are using our buses
to do what we call a bus bridge or take people
from L'Enfant Plaza station to pentagon city
because again we are not
sending trains across the yellow line bridge
and of course at the pentagon station we're doing a bus bridge
uh, from Arlington cemetery
to pentagon city
[Channel 4 Joe Krebs] okay so if you want to get to national airport from the district you would have
to take a bus from uh...
pentagon station to... how does that work?
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] You would take a bus from...
either the L'Enfant Plaza station to pentagon city [NBC Channel 4 Joe Krebs] OK
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] and then continue your
commute or if and that's the yellow line or if you are on the blue line you
would get off at Arlington Cemetery to catch a bus
and then you would go past the pentagon station by bus
and then uh...
get off the pentagon city to continue your commute on the blue line to get
national airport
[NBC Channel 4 Joe Krebs] OK of course, once again all airports
across the country have been shut down by the FAA, Cheryl Johnson
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] OK, well, if that's the case
I'm sure people are attempting to just
use the Metro to get to where they need to get to at this point
because I understand the federal government has
released
employees and I can look at my window and see gridlock
on the streets already traffic gridlock
[NBC Channel 4 Barbara Harrison] all right
[NBC Channel 4 Joe Krebs] I'm sure. Cheryl Johnson, thank you very much
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] And listen. Be aware that it's very
hard to get through on the phone, so
if you call us and you're not able to get to that because so many of the circuits, both cell phones and regular phones are busy
[NBC Channel 4 Barbara Harrison] Excuse me just a moment Cheryl
We're just getting a report from the associated press that a car bomb
has exploded outside
the state department we are just hearing this from the associated press. A car
bomb exploding outside the state department here in Washington. We have
no
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] get through because so many of the circuits, both cell phones and regular phones
[NBC Channel 4 Barbara Harrison] Excuse me Cheryl
[NBC Megan McGrath] I'm assuming you can hear and see me at this point. We are on columbia pike. If you
take a look behind my shoulder you can see the south side of the Pentagon
actually just moments before this happened
after the world trade center incident we were headed from a different location
to national airport we were on 395 when all of a sudden we heard
a boom
and we saw this huge fireball rise from the pentacon (sic). We knew immediately that
something terribly wrong had happened and we made our way to this location. We
originally pulled off, there's a gas station nearby, had a really good view of
the south side of the pentagon
smoke burning when she saw what happened. Can you tell me you say that
you saw a plane actually strike the side of the pentagon tell me exactly what you
saw. [Isabel James] I saw a plane going down
big plane commercial liner type
going down. So
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] get through because so many of the circuits, both cell phones and regular phones
[NBC Channel 4 Barbara Harrison] Excuse me Cheryl, just a moment
[Isabel James] So speed and just
inside
the side of the pentagon
Obviously it was going
in the pentagon purposely.
[NBC Megan McGrath] Now we've been here
probably about the same same length of time is as you have. I have heard a
total of 3 booms. That initial boom and then I heard 3
less, less large booms, but booms none the less. Have you heard the same thing
[Isabel James] Yes, yes I did, I did
Smaller explosions, maybe it's inside the building some
gas lines exploding or something, I don't know
but we heard, we
heard the other explosions
um, I don't see any other smoke anywhere so I, I suppose it's from inside the
building. [NBC Megan McGrath] OK, Isabel James thank you
[Isabel James] um, I don't see any other smoke anywhere so I, I suppose it's from
inside the building
um, I don't see any other smoke anywhere so I, I suppose it's from inside
the building
um, I don't see any other smoke anywhere so I, I suppose it's from inside
the building
um, I don't see any other smoke anywhere so I, I suppose it's from inside
the building. [NBC Katie Couric] Possibility Tom and Matt and Bob, apparently a senior

denied
on Tuesday the group had any connection. Denied on Tuesday. Denied
on Tuesday. Denied on Tuesday.
[NBC Channel 4 Barbara Harrison] From here in Washington on these
events
[NBC Channel 4 Joe Krebs] As you can see Megan McGrath is live at the pentagon from columbia pike very
near the pentagon. Megan, what can you tell us about the latest happening there
[NBC Megan McGrath] Joe, I can't hear you I'm assuming that you can hear and see me at this point we
are on Columbia Pike. If you take a look behind my shoulder you can see the south
side of the pentagon. Actually just moments before this happened
after the world trade center incident we were headed from a different location
to national airport. We were on 395 when all of a sudden we heard
a boom
and we saw this huge fireball rise from the pentacon (sic). We knew immediately that
something
[CNN Charles Jaco from 1991 Desert Storm] I'm starting to get real bothered by all this
[CBS Dan Rather] this is the timeline
South tower of the world trade center was hit
around 9 o'clock
then the north tower was hit
Air traffic in the U.S. was closed about 9:30. President bish (sic) spoke from florida at that
time, he's spoken since via videotape from Louisiana
Around ten o'clock
a plane crashed at the helicopter pad at the pentagon did damage set fire to portions
of the pentagon. There've been some casualties. Any dead, we don't know. There were some
injured because we saw them at the pentagon
then the south tower incredibly collapsed
uh... then the north tower, the twin
towers the world trade center collapsed
one pauses after you say that because
you know, it is almost unbelievable
and then there was a plane crash in Somerset county Pa. That's in
Pittsburgh area
[Charles Jaco demonic laugh from Atlanta 1991 Desert Storm]
[NBC Megan McGrath] Back to you all
[Channel 4 Joe Krebs] Megan, I want to give you this update
Apparently a portion of the Pentagon has [background President Bill Clinton]An inside job?
collapsed according to the Associated Press How dare you! How dare you.
[Metro Cheryl Johnson] from L'Enfant station to Pentagon City, then continue your
commute or if, and that's the yellow line. Or if you are on the blue line you would
get off at
