The Pentagon

• September 11, 2001
• 945 am EDT

18
September 11, 2001 -- 945 a.m. EDTAn American
Airlines flight from Washington to Los Angeles
plowed into the Pentagon with 64 passengers and
crew aboard. The jet, which had just taken off
from Dulles Airport, set the world's largest
office building ablaze.
19
September 11, 2001 -- 1010 a.m. EDTA portion of
the Pentagon collapses.
20
The jet struck a section of the building that
housed Army offices.
21
Firefighters fought hard to extinguish the
flames. Recent renovations included improved
fire suppression materials, which helped
decrease the spread of the flames.
22
Washington's hospitals reported more than 50
injured, and the number increased as the day went
on.
23
"Huge explosion, great ball of fire, smoke
started billowing out, and then it was just
chaos." -- Mike Walter, an eyewitness, told CNN.
24
Lisa Burgess, a reporter for Stars and Stripes
newspaper, said she was walking in a corridor
near the blast site and was thrown to the ground
by the force of the blast.
25
Pentagon officials said all U.S. military sites
around the world went to Threat Con Delta, which
means that a terrorist attack has occurred or an
attack at a specific location was likely.
26
Damage includes a huge hole cut through the
smoldering wreckage of the Pentagon.
27
Gen. Hugh Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, called the attacks "barbaric terrorism
carried out by fanatics."
28
Despite the massive damage, Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld said the Pentagon would open for
business Wednesday.

September 15, 2001
Exhausted but driven, hundreds of volunteers
continued going through tons of rubble and using
heavy equipment to remove debris from the World
Trade Center wreckage. Plummeting temperatures
before dawn on Saturday sent workers rummaging
through Salvation Army clothes for sweaters.

Pentagon as the morning sun lights up the sky
with the Capitol dome in the background.

Emergency workers look at the crater created when
United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday. Radar
showed the Boeing 757, bound for San Francisco,
California, from Newark, New Jersey, had nearly
reached Cleveland when it made a sharp left turn
and headed back toward Pennsylvania, crashing in
a grassy field edged by woods about 80 miles
southeast of Pittsburgh. There were no survivors.
