Everyone walks away before I could tell them that the woman wanted to travel with her friends on flight 175 and that their brother/uncle had by coincidence attended a meeting at the WTC that morning despite being a random Irish guy and not a New Yorker and he’d been helping a woman who had been severely burned by jet fuel find an ambulance when the plane his sister and niece were aboard slammed into the other tower right above them.
Guess I’m not good at parties.
Also one of the producers of Frasier was on flight 11 returning to LA from a brief stay in New York. He flew this route so regularly that in one episode they actually mention flight 11 by name as a minor plot point (since up to 9/11 the morning cross country flight from NYC to LAX was always designated as flight 11.)
They retired the designation after 9/11 for obvious reasons.
I want to ask for an order of magnitude assessment of how many of these you have, but I worry that I have in fact simply gotten us in deeper.
Theres always more. Like 2997 people died and they all have a story. I’m a regular 7 of 9-11 when it comes to this stuff.
Like the exec who only survived because he went down to meet a client in the lobby (security was tight after the 1993 bombing and visitors usually required an escort) which his secretary normally did but he did it himself this one time because she was 8 months pregnant and he didn’t want to put her through the hassle since she was so preggers she was due to start her maternity leave at the end if the week.
