I hear you and I sympathize. I noticed RetiredGuy above said he's from the DC area, as am I. I was in the vicinity of the Pentagon at the time and heard the explosion. It sounded like the old sonic booms we used to hear in the old days, even louder. I saw the smoke billowing out of the building - the Pentagon of all places - for days if not weeks. I know exactly what you mean when you said you feared planes for a while. I remember looking up at them and imagining they were missiles once again. Scary stuff. We have a touch of PTSD perhaps. But you're right, we were luckier than many. And we're luckier still.
