Deon, It's amazing how far our news spreads but that was one heck of an event. Within 30 minutes of the 2nd plane hitting (around the time the third hit the pentagon) they announced over the intercom that the National Guard was on its way to all airports and we were being asked to immediately vacate the airport. I was on a pay phone with my boss who was insisting I stay and try to catch the flight to St. Louis, until the plane hit the pentagon and the announcement was made over the PA. I remember the airports opened a week or two later, and it was like a military zone. I had never seen an M16 up close until going through the security checkpoints they established. It was a crazy, and scary time, for all. -tG --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/02/12 (Windows/32) * Origin: The Underground [@] www.theunderground.us:10023 (1337:3/132) .
