|ArmyBengal| Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I work a couple of blocks from the Pentagon. Building had minor shake and then a violent longer one. We evacuated the building. Building fire escape stairwells now have cracks in the concrete. Got word a water main broke at the Pentagon. But no injuries reported. Most people heading home.
