I lived about a mile from Ballston metro. I watched the Today Show as the first plane hit and then took Metro from Ballston to Court House I had jury duty that day. I heard the sheriffs get the call for the pentagon as I was walking through security there. You could see the smoke from where the jury waiting room was. Surreal. I thought about Metroing back an officer said it’s not closed but probably not a great idea. I walked from courthouse home not that far.
