I've memories from the opposite side of this. My dad was working downtown in DC at USDA when this happened. It was snowing terribly and he was VERY late for dinner and nowhere to be found or heard from. Of course the media was not helping with this one bit and refusing to rule out whether or not any cars had been hit and taken off into the Potomac and were just milking it for all they could.
LSS: Dad walks in the house @ around 22:30, well over 5 hours late, but home nonetheless,himself and car intact.

I was living in DC then. The same day there was a fatal crash on the subway with, I think, 4 or 5 people being killed. My drive to work took me past the crash site at river level and for at least a week afterwards the whole area stank of jet fuel.
