Dr. Chris Lampe was attending a conference in the basement of the Washington Hospital Center the morning of 9/11 when Code Orange appeared on everyone’s pagers – and no one knew what that was.
“Then (the message) came over as ‘aircraft has hit the Pentagon.’ said Lampe, then a fourth-year medical student at Georgetown work-ing on a trauma surgery rotation. “Our initial thoughts were, ‘How did that happen?’ We were picturing a Cessna or a small plane.”

Remembering

PRESCOTT – Rex Baumback spent his adult life in the woods as a forester, and hikes at least once a week in the Prescott National Forest near his home in the Ranch subdivision.
However, his outdoor exercise regimen did not prepare him for walking 12 miles on a sum-mer day in the low 90s in the nation’s capital.

The images still haunt Bonnie Casey.
As the nation com-memorates the 10th anni-versary of 9/11, Casey, like many others, still breaks down when she

PRESCOTT – It seems to happen every year: As the summer heat gives way to the crisp days of autumn, Amy Rea is transported back.
Once again, she is reliving the September day when the perfectly cloudless New York City day was juxtaposed with the horrors of the 2001 World Trade Cen-ter attack.
“It was a blue, blue sky – clear as a bell,” Rea, a former New Jer-sey resident, who now lives in Prescott, said of Sept. 11, 2001. “Some-times on a beautiful day, I’ll remember that it was

Prescott resident Rex Baumback, an international timber consultant, was working at the U.S. Forest Service about a mile from the Pentagon when a plane crashed into that building.

On Sept. 11, 2001, the FEMA Southwest Type I Incident Management Team called its mem-bers, including Central Yavapai Firefighter Pru-ett Small, and instructed them to find their way to Albuquerque, where they would board the only non-military flight in the air the day of the 9/11 attacks. Small and the Type I team spent five weeks at Ground Zero assisting with rescue and cleanup operations.
