Summary of eRumor:
After the high jacked airliner hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, a team of U.S. Marines helped evacuate children at the facility’s daycare.
The Truth:
Children were evacuated from the Pentagon day care after the jet crashed into it but it was not a team of 40 U.S. Marines that rushed the children to safety.
The TruthOrFiction.com Team found a YouTube video posted by the military news service Stars and Stripes of an interview of U.S. Army Colonel Dave Komar, whose office was next to the daycare center at the Pentagon.
During the evacuation Komar and his staff assisted daycare workers and other Pentagon personnel in the evacuation of the children.
