Today. Seven Years After 9-11-2001

[difete]

It seems like it was just a few years ago. My heart goes out for all the souls lost that day.

This day changed our lives, dreams, and jobs forever.
Let us never forget. Join me in this thread as we remember the heroism of those who fight for our nation. And those who pay the ultimate price for our freedom, and way of life.

My gratitude to all of you.

And to all of you in FI. My best wishes.

 

[XPOO]

I have images of that day that I will never get out of my head.

To the crew aboard United 93, true heroism in the face of certain death. Your sacrifice for the greater good will never be forgotten.

Thoughts and Prayers

My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones seven years ago!

I took a moment this moring to remember those who were lost, those that tried to save and those of us that continue on today with our lives forever changed!







eP.

NEVER FORGET

 

[SpoilerFault]

What can I say...It still feels like it was yesterday. My prayers are with the families who lost loved ones that day, and for our nation to again have the unity that we experienced afterwards.

NEVER FORGET

Could not have said it better myself. What a surreal and horrible day!

Yeah that pisses me off.

You can bet that the terrorist a$$hats definately haven't given up either.

The flight from BOS was supposed to be one of the legs on my commute home. By luck, the plane I was flying from JFK was broken, and delayed me enough to miss my IAD to BOS flight, thus missing the doomed flight.
Then when airspace was open again, I flew to JFK and got a good / bad view of the WTC crater still burning. First time in my life the NYC controllers were talking slow.
I don't know what to say, I'm just thankful that I'm still here.

Lest we forget!

Oh this is a war alright, just not the kind you are thinking of. Unfortunately, some americans became the casualties of the enemy, and the enemy is within our borders.

Hold on...youre a pilot and you support loose change?

You've got to be kidding me. Did we not land on the moon, either? I couldn't even get 10 minutes into that.

And for the record, I could see (and smell) the smoke from the roof of my house on September 11th. I'd rather not see or experience something like that again.

It doesnt seem possible that it was 7 years ago. In some ways it feels like it was 700 years ago and in others it seems like it was 7 secs ago. I still remember how eriely quite it was that night with absolutely no air traffic in Florida.

We are slowly, inexorably returning to our pre 9/11 ways. The 'invisible hand' has a very short memory; our procedures are definately slipping back to a model that supports profit over security.

I believe that it's up to us as pilots to prevent anything negative from happening from block out to block in. Our jobs and our lives depend on this.

Even though I wasn't around the 121 game pre 9-11 I was just thinking about this the other day, and it was brought up in recurrent a few months ago. Its kinda stupid how many guys want to open the door in flight to get something they forgot in their overnight bag such as ipod, book, etc. When I first started 121 flying 6 years ago no one ever even thought about doing that stuff.

The flight deck door is not my last line of defense...
