KERRY: I was in the Capitol. We'd just had a meeting -- we'd just come into a leadership meeting in Tom Daschle's office, looking out at the Capitol. And as I came in, Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon. And then word came from the White House, they were evacuating, and we were to evacuate, and so we immediately began the evacuation. HEINZ KERRY: You walked out with John McCain, didn't you? KERRY: Yes. KING: You and what? HEINZ KERRY: He and John walked out together. KING: He and John McCain walked out -- what did you think? Did you think... KERRY: I knew instantaneously... KING: Clinton said he though bin Laden. KERRY: I knew instantaneously with the first. I'm a pilot, and I looked at the weather, and it's what we call in pilot lingo CAVU, ceiling and visibility unlimited. And I knew that that plane did not fly into that building accidentally, as people were speculating. It just doesn't happen, could not, under those circumstances. So I knew it was deliberate, whether it was suicide, whether it was something -- I couldn't tell. When the second plane hit, it was obvious to the world. And as we went out of the building, my immediately feeling was, we're at war. I mean, that was the sense, that we are under attack. People are attacking the United States of America and we needed to respond. KING: Were you scared? KERRY: No, I wasn't scared, I was angry. I was very angry. xponent Brings Back Memories Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
