- [on the morning of September 11, 2001] I flew out of Dulles Airport about 7:30 that morning - actually about 50 minutes before American Airlines 77 flew out of Dulles. I often wonder whether or not ... did my path cross with any of the terrorists in the terminal or any of the 64 people that were on that aircraft and were killed at the Pentagon later that morning? But I, you don't know, but I'll always wonder that.
- [on the crisis of getting back to the capital on 9/11] Shortly after 9 o'clock the second plane hit the South Tower, and I knew we were under attack. Then became the process of trying getting back to Washington as quickly as possible. They threw me in a cab, and we rushed to the airport. I remember running down the terminal. It was really quiet, and it's because everyone was huddled around the television monitors in the terminal. By the time I got to the gate the FAA had grounded all air traffic. So here I was in stuck in Norfolk, and I was really desperate to get back.
