Lou, I got this from Joan just now (9/11 story). I'm sure you have a story as well ----

It was a tough day for me. I don't know if you knew, there were 11 planes targeted that day and I
was on one of them. We were heading to LA and our departure was 8:50 on a L1011. We had the 3 that
were headed to Houston after the failed departure. I was interviewed by the FBI as well as our whole crew
and had to identify the 3 on our flight. They got them on the train system in Missouri. The FBI told us
the failure of the others was one fact. As well of an organized plan they had the one thing they did not take in
account was time change. Our President at the time Bill Compton was in Dallas when this announcement
of the first plane (We were being bought by American at this time). TWA was the first airline to demand all
departures and take-offs stop. And all land at the first opportunity. American followed with this. You met Bill and
his wife Dreana at our wedding. The information that Bill told us about that was mind boggling.
