Re: 911!
Glad you posted your comments! Well said. Your words of the planes in the sky reminds me of that day personally. When the second aircraft hit the tower I was at work (UPS airlines) I said to our group "that was in shock" if we have any planes in New York ATC Center they need to get to the ground immediately. About 10 minutes later ATC Declared an emergency and all aircraft in the United States were ordered to land. Any aircraft coming into the US was diverted to another country or returned to its departure airport. It felt like a weird dream .. each aircraft dispatcher scrambled to send messages or call each of their flights to land at the nearest suitable airport. I told one captain we had a terrorist attack in New York and to divert. He asked me to repeat my call twice not believing what he had heard. Within about 4 hours, the screen that showed about 4000 aircraft in the sky was blank. We all entered a new world that day. God bless those who died that day and those who have sacraficed since.
