I was at the airport about 10 minutes before loading up. I remember walking through the airport to my gate, when I noticed stewardesses and other airport personnel gathering and whispering. After finding out what was going on I remember the strangest thing yet... The airport had thousands and thousands of people and it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was gathered around tv monitors and we were all just numb. I remember one guy started screaming, "This is war! This is war!" And we just told him to 'can it'.
I never got on my plane, but it still took 2 days to get my luggage... But that was nothing compared to the people who lost loved ones that day and will never see them again, till Heaven. |
