911, bla bla bla

9-11-01, I still can't help feeling no sense of loss at all. I worked for NWA for 14 and a half years, on that particular day, I was working. I remember sitting outside and it was really sunny and I was waiting for my inbound flights so I could transfer the luggage to the claim belt area. As time passed by I was noticing that none of the flights were landing and I thought there was some kind of delay which started to tick me off. I called on my radio to OPS and they said for me to come inside and then they made a whole announcement over all the radio channels to come in. I went into the control center and saw they had the TV on and Peter Jennings was reporting in NY with the World Trade Centers behind him with one of them smoking. Just as I opened my mouth to wonder what was happening I saw a plane fly straight into the second tower," WTF !!!", I said out loud, and then our operation phones were ringing off the hook. I remember thinking to myself " I wonder if I can go home early?" LOL. After being brought up to date and then released to go home ( yeah! ) the atmosphere at the airport was never the same.That day, the gestapo ( don't know if thats spelled right) ran the show from there on out. Every little thing went under scrutiny, the fear that came over everyone was absolutely shocking, "where are you going? " "did you see anyone suspcious? " " he looks like a terroist stop him !! ". If all the airports in the U.S.acted this way in the beginning like the rest of the world, know one would no what an insurgent was except the blue states :)~. Instead they had security dumping out my lunch soup and checking my sandwhiches for mayonnaise, or any other "explosive" device. Yes those people didnt deserve to die, or maybe at least some of them. No ones fault but our own, and we'll never admit it.
