From 911Encyclopedia:

Veronica Clarke is spokeswoman for the Pentagon and Pentagon officials. In an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News, Clarke told Susteren, how they reacted on the attack and didn't decide to evacuate the building: "...we were talking about some incredibly tricky issue that we were going to have to address that day on Macedonia, and somebody points to the TV screens in the room and says, well, this is the story of the day. And that was when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. And then, all the operations -...Secretary Rumsfeld was still in his office, he was getting a briefing on another matter, he was going to be joining us. And we're in a room with no windows, we've got tons of screens up with different agencies, all the different networks, and felt this enormous thump and a big noise... ...I said, it must be a car bomb. And somebody else said, it's a bomb of some kind..." Source http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Apr2002/t04052002_t0404fox.html
