Yeah, I had dropped her off and went back home about 6 mi away when my business partner called me to tell me to turn on the TV. He was on his way to NYC for a meeting and stopped at a rest area on the Turnpike. I tuned in just in time to see the second plane hit. Then the Pentagon started being reported as being hit. I grabbed my rifle and sidearm, jumped back in and raced back across Alexandria to Arlington, shocked to find Rt 27 was even open with slower moving traffic going by. Got to her about 90-120 minutes after the impact. It still seems surreal. Then I drove by the gaping hole for almost 2 more years following the attack taking her back and forth. Each time (wrongfully) seething against Muslims and OBL. Little did I know then it was our own government...
Geesh, that must have been terrifying for you. Glad she was okay.

Sounds like she was too young to know, thankfully. Yes, there are plenty of people who have to be held accountable for the lies.
She was 4 at the time.
