Shortly before 9:37 a.m.\u2013the time marked for a moment of silence in observance of the flight that struck the Pentagon down just outside Washington, D.C.\u2013Clinton was seen leaving the ceremony with her press corps in tow. Clinton was leaving through a back entrance, quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Several reports have surfaced since Clinton abruptly left\u00a0the 9\/11 memorial ceremony that she had a medical emergency and fainted on the way to her car.
