[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 452451, member: 6705"] On 9/11, I lived in a small apartment about 3 miles from the AFB I work at now. At 3 AM - I was awakened by many helicopters flying out. I assumed they were leaving the safe haven here and returning to the coast. Still, it could be. At 8:45 - ish, I was at work in Xenia when a coworker came TEARING in from the back. Told us. That afternoon (got gas for $1.419 at lunch time, and I'll never forget that), I was headed to my parents' - it was EERILY SILENT. And then - BOOM! ...BOOM! I pretty much tried to duck under my dashboard. Sonic booms are not unusual around here, but with the extreme air silence, it was scary. I'm glad the people walked away. Trees [I]are[/I] good cushioning, I guess. [/QUOTE]
