DAVID ENSOR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Aaron, I'm in our bureau, but I have on the telephone with me Barbara, who is the wife a friend of mine and who is an eyewitness to exactly what happened at the Pentagon. Barbara, can you hear me all right?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, I can hear you.
ENSOR: Well, what exactly did you see? Let's look at the Pentagon now, as you describe what exactly happened at the Pentagon this morning?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: As we were driving into town on 395, there was an exit. We were trying to get off of the exit for the Memorial Bridge. On the left-hand side, there was a commercial plane coming in, and was coming in too fast and the too low, and the next thing we saw was a go-down below the side of the road, and we just saw the fire that came up after that.
ENSOR: How large was the explosion.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was large.
ENSOR: Was there a sound as well.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We -- that I can't verify, because the windows were up in the vehicle.
ENSOR: Was it clear to you what had happened?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, definitely.
ENSOR: So you believe it was a commercial airliner that was hitting the Pentagon?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, and I'm not sure exactly where the Pentagon, where it was in relationship top where the plane went down. You know, but it was relatively close to one another. Whether it hit any of the Pentagon, I am not sure.
ENSOR: How low was the plane?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: When it was coming down?
ENSOR: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was coming on less than a 45 degree angle, and coming down towards the side of the -- of 395. And when it came down, it just missed 395 and went down below us, and then you saw the boom -- the fire come up from it.
ENSOR: Were you able to see what kind of plane, or what airline it belonged to?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No, I did not see what kind of an airline. I just assumed because we were so close to the airport, that it was coming in to land.
ENSOR: But it seemed awfully low to you?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, and fast.
ENSOR: How big was the fireball?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm spatially challenged at times, and it was pretty big.
ENSOR: What did you think was happening?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I know that that hit the ground and exploded.
ENSOR: Were you frightened yourself?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, everybody stopped the cars, and we all got (UNINTELLIGIBLE) and so forth.
ENSOR: All right, well, thank you very much. I appreciate you talking to us.
Washington, a woman who was driving into the city on Interstate 395 as the Pentagon was attacked:
"As we were driving into town on 395, there was exit -- we were trying to get off the exit for the Memorial Bridge. Off to the left-hand side was a commercial plane that came in -- it was coming too fast, too low. And the next thing we saw was it go down below the side of the road, and we just saw the fire that came up after that.
