[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1023532, member: 36696"] I was running the Union Station route that day which is on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. Before you went to the loading docks at the Station you had to drop a large bulk stop at an electric company on Penn Street right off of New York Ave. The guys at the dock there were talking about a small commuter plane hitting the WTC. Their dock is below street level so when you leave you literally are looking up at the sky above the south part of the city. When I pulled out I could see the smoke billowing up from the Pentagon. I remember thinking WTF maybe they meant a plane had crashed at National Airport! When I pulled into the docks under Union Station 5 minutes later hundreds of people were literally running out of both Union Station and Amtrak's corporate offices as well as from the Admin Office of US Courts building next door. One of DC's finest told me what was going on and that all buildings on Capitol Hill were being evacuated. Within ten minutes UPS brought everyone back in. Although we did have one driver in upper NW whose route was 200 resi stops everyday back then say friend-it and stayed out and ran his route. I never saw it reported anywhere but I was told by the management company that owns Union Station that four middle eastern guys were caught that day in the tunnels under the station with complete and detailed floor plans of the whole building.....
