Reply #68: At The Airport At The Time [View All]

[ProfessorGAC]

I was at the airport awaiting a flight to Atlanta. I heard from someone that a plane had hit the WTC.

Then, a few minutes later someone told me that the lady at the newsstand had a little TV and she was watching the live news of the tower on fire.

So, i went over there to watch for a few minutes. I was there probably not more than 30 seconds when the second plane hit, on national TV! I said to myself "This is not an accident and we're not flying anywhere today!" They then announced the FAA has suspended all air traffic indefinitely.

So, i went back out to my car (i hadn't checked any luggage) and drove to work. But, the plant is a chem plant and they had it on security lock down. So, since my ID badge was at home, i couldn't get in. (I've been working there for MANY years. Seems silly. I think they knew i was no terrorist.) So, i left and went home and watched the news all day.

It was a weird day.
