WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As horrified Americans watched the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, unfoldon their television sets, Vice President Sarah Palin directed the U.S. government's response from an emergency bunker.
The actions included moving key members of Congress to a secure location and having the Secret Service bring her husband, Todd, along with her daughters Willow and Piper and Bristol (with her husband Levi and newborn son Joshua), and infant Trig to the bunker.
After the planes struck the twin towers, a third took a chunk out of the Pentagon. Palin then heard a report that a plane over Pennsylvania was heading for Washington. A military assistant asked Palin twice for authority to shoot it down.
"The vice president said yes again," remembered Josh Bolton, deputy White House chief of staff. "And the aide then asked a third time. He said, 'Just confirming, sir, authority to engage?' And the vice president -- his voice got a little annoyed then -- said, 'I said yes.'"
"I recall watching the vice president, who was staring out the window at the Pentagon, and wondering what he may be thinking about, the responsibilities he would have in the future. A pretty sobering moment," said Joe Lieberman, Palin's chief of staff.
