Video: Commuters React To Osama Bin Laden's Death

On September 11, 2001, it took Brooklyn native John Carey seven hours to get from his office in Washington, D.C. to the Vienna metro station.

"[The day] was crazy, the whole town ... cell phones didn't work," Carey said. "I definitely remember it like it was yesterday."

On Monday, Carey headed into the office much like he did on that day nearly 10 years ago, a decade worth of memories flooding his walk from the parking lot. But today, , he had some sense of closure; he hopes others do, too.

"I'm glad the troops can have some solace after all the work they've done," Carey said. "And that it brings a little healing to all the victims of 9/11."

Commuters outside the Vienna metro station Monday morning -- just a half dozen hours after -- expressed relief, gratitude and joy, shouting "two thumbs up" and "Amen to that!" when asked for their reaction.

Some commuters said unfortunately, the death of bin Laden, who commuters on Monday called "a tyrant," "evil," and a "very bad man," won't be the end of his regime.

"I don't think it's going to change a lot," said commuter Mark Chandler. "It might change the structure of Al Qaeda, but I don't think it's going to change the mission."
