Watching television and seeing the programme they mde of the passengers and flight crews on one of the flights brought a lot of the reality back.

I was flying in the early 70's when aircraft were being hi-jacked to places like Dawsons Field. Although we didn't then live in fear of being hi-jacked we did have it on our minds. But then the aircraft weren't used as missiles. There were very few human casualties. All aircraft at Dawsons field were bombed. A few passengers were killed.

The bravery of the crew on those aircraft on 9/11 is impossible to quantify. They knew what was going to happen. But they are mentioned so infrequently.
