In fact, it was one of the most beautiful days James could ever remember. He went to work as usual in downtown Washington, DC and everything seemed normal. However, during his 9:00 meeting, something strange happened. The world as he knew it changed forever. Shortly after 9:30, the entire building shook. James and his coworkers all looked around at each other in nervous wonder. Instantly, the sirens beganpolice cars, ambulances, fire engines. It seemed to be a never-ending parade of emergency vehicles speeding by his building. You see, James works less than a mile from the Pentagon and the day was September 11, 2001. Once he found out what happened, James left the building and went out to the streets, along with the rest of the city. Thousands of people were walking through the streets in a haze of disbelief and fear. By this point, everyone had also heard about the World Trade Center in New York and there was a rumor of yet another missing airplane that was headed to Washington. James looked right and saw the Capitol Building. He looked left and saw the Washington Monument and the White House. No place seemed safe. The subway stopped running and automobile traffic was at a total standstill. There was essentially no way out of the city.
