Like most of the presidential cabinet,
United States Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld has spent the past hour
trying to piece together the rapid-fire
events of this Tuesday morning from his
office on the east side of the Pentagon.
Rumsfeld is huddled with his staff when
a loud thud is heard. The building
shakes and the tables in the room jump.
>> And the next thing we know, we got an
indication that uh it was a hijacked
aircraft and it had just struck the
Pentagon.
With literally no warning.
