No narrow escape of mine can even compare
A very dear friend of mine used to work for the Pentagon. Nothing super-special-important, nothing vital; she was just one of the many people who kept the trail of paperwork moving. One morning, she woke up still feeling like hell from a party the night before and called in sick to work. Not much later on that day, some religious extremists flew a plane into the building. It took nearly twelve hours to get through to her by phone, and when I finally heard her voice it took a while for both of us to stop crying. I'd never imagined the words 'I didn't go to work today' would be one of the most wonderful things I ever heard.

I seem to recall pretty extensive damage and a number of deaths.

As I see above me
Someone else has already made clear what happened.
