Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
Um, a little, you know, it was, there was some space there.
Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
But, um, nine thirty-seven or so when the airliner hit The Pentagon, that's about thirty-five miles north of Quantico and only a few miles from-- We have another facility up in Washington at, um, the Boeing Air Force Base, um, called Anacostia, only a few miles from our facility at Anacostia.
Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
So yeah, literally in our, in our backyard where we do all our kind of executive WHFs, um, to and from.
Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
So, um, yeah, so at, at that point, um, the, the days, the training class I was in was canceled.
Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
But then at that stage, we're just kind of, kind of waiting.
Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
The only thing I add there is in the middle of all that, there was, there was one CH fifty-three that was doing a training mission in the pattern at, um, Quantico.
Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
Um, they were pushed up to Anacostia.
Daniel P. CreightonGUEST
I can't remember what the need was, but, uh, Major Paul Johnson, uh, Major Jeff Field, and, uh, Master Sergeant Jamie Bowling as the crew chief, they were at that point kind of pushed up to Anacostia, and they were kind of one of the first aircraft to respond up to that facility, um, in the midst of the morning.
Leland Blanchard IIGUEST
So if you go to Ward 7, Ward 8, we're there.
Leland Blanchard IIGUEST
Whether you're Columbia Heights or over in Anacostia, I encourage people to get out and about in the city.
Leland Blanchard IIGUEST
Certainly, we are going to be where there are large crowds.
Leland Blanchard IIGUEST
But mostly what we're doing is we're working in... coordination at the request of our MPD, our federal agency partners, so that we can fill in where they need us.

Natalie OrpettHOST
Who, who is of that opinion and what do you think about it?
Brad HeathGUEST
You know, it, it, I've certainly heard in reporting this and talking to people in the community that, you know, yes, we are not seeing soldiers, for example, east of the river on the other side of the Anacostia from the mall where crime is a bigger problem and you don't see as many soldiers.
Brad HeathGUEST
And a lot of people there don't really want to see as many soldiers.
Natalie OrpettHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mark WeeksGUEST
He told me he had found two dead bodies during his 20-year career.
Rob SnowhiteHOST
Yeah, I talked to some people that rode crew in D.C. in the 80s, and Yeah, the Anacostia was just...
Rob SnowhiteHOST
And the Potomac, you'd hit floaters.
Rob SnowhiteHOST
They said one time someone jumped or was thrown off of Key Bridge and almost hit their rowboat.
Don McPhersonHOST
No kidding.
Ken SternGUEST
You go seven miles as the crow flies to Anacostia at 67.
Ken SternGUEST
You want to advance life expectancy in the U.S., focus on public health in Anacostia and giving resources to people there to live.
Ken SternGUEST
Even average life expectancy would make an enormous difference in public health in this country.
Don McPhersonHOST
Now, is that primarily an income and wealth disparity? Why those zip codes or those areas of D.C.
22 MINS LATER
Ken SternGUEST
sort of think of associate youth with vigor and innovation, not older folks, when you might think about them with about the value of wisdom, experience, and accumulated knowledge.
Ken SternGUEST
So you can talk about sort of how do you create incentivized companies to hire older workers? How do you create lifelong learning programs? How do you redesign your city's environment for walking? How do you create green space and third spaces that allow people, that invite people out of their homes? I mean, one of the biggest challenges is...
Ken SternGUEST
I talked about Anacostia, people don't leave their homes because there's no place to go that's safe and inviting.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
Mrs. McAllister was right.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
All fashionable society turned out to attend the inquest and fought and struggled for admittance, rubbing shoulders with the denizens of Southeast Washington and Anacostia as they pushed their way into the Trevor mansion.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
The inquest was to be held in the library, the suite of rooms, comprising parlor, library, and dining room, having been thrown open to accommodate the public.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
A rope had been stretched in front of the office door and across the square staircase to keep the crowd within bounds.
3 HRS 46 MINS LATER
Roger MelinNARRATOR
The pursuit and capture would make a readable story, so, well satisfied with his night's work, he waited patiently to catch the last car to Washington, which left at eight minutes past one o'clock.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
It lacked fifteen minutes of that time, so, pulling his coat collar up about his ears, he made himself as comfortable as circumstances permitted.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
While waiting, his eyes, grown accustomed to the darkness, discerned a solitary figure coming toward him from Anacostia.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
When opposite Dick, the newcomer paused and, screening himself from the storm behind one of the porch pillars, struck a match.
