Remembering 9/11/2001
I was with a couple of friends holding court at the Super Six table at the Casino Filipino Airport when we found out about 9/11.
My mom was on a CX flight on her way back home from New York (JFK-YVR-HKG-MNL) when the towers were struck. They were ordered to land at the nearest US airport which happened to be in Anchorage. They were stranded in Alaska for several days as the entire American airspace was declared a no-fly zone.
My brother was sleeping in his Manhattan flat just a few blocks away from ground zero.
Where were you?
-----------------------------
Can't believe it has been eight years since. A huge shoutout to all the brave men and women who gave their lives in service of not only America but the rest of the world. Your efforts will always be appreciated and remembered.
May the souls of all those who perished in this tragedy rest in peace.
