I'm a flight attendant with United Airlines....I was on a layover and a flying partner woke me up and was screaming into the phone "Turn on the TV, turn on the TV" and she hung up. I turned on the TV and witnessed the 2nd plane hit the tower!! It was surreal. Then I found out that they were American and United planes and felt even worse. I was stuck on my layover for 4 days and my husband and family were so worried. The planes were grounded and we couldn't get home. Obviously, that day changed my life, my work life has never been the same. My profession has changed forever and our focus on terrorism can overwhelm me. I still love my job but will forever hate the terrorists who killed all those innocent people and have put the rest of us in a state of high alert forever. |
