Really? Because you had foreseen knowledge that the "attack" was over? You were perfectly safe in Williamsburg, VA? You knew ahead of time this wasn't a multilevel attack, with planes being the first phase and what during the second, third phase?
Sure, none of these hypothetical alternatives transpired, however, your situational awareness needs an upgrade.
