Did you watch the special they did on Discovery? Both the trade centers and the pentagon?

Yep. Pretty freaky, when you think about it. Personally, though, 9/14 stands out more, since it was the day a 767 went blasting directly overhead on takeoff from BWI as I drove into work. I think the pilots that day were intentionally running their engines harder/louder as a sort of "you're not gonna win" protest.

 

Unfortunately, I don't feel the least bit safer now than I did back then.
