"After locking up our classified hard drives in the safe, we evacuated the office into the courtyard.  As I turned towards a courtyard exit, I witnessed a civilian gentleman exiting the building in duress. As I approached him, I could see his neck tie was melting and his hair was on fire. I extinguished the flames, laid him down and began treating for shock. Soon I was relieved by the heroes of the Pentagon Clinic. I then [re]traced the victim's path in an attempt to find additional casualties. I soon found the hole the plane made in the A-B driveway. I worked with three others to extract victims from the Navy Operations Center."
