My husband and I are both
airline pilots in Canada and were married on September 8,
2001. The morning of 9/11, my husband and I were passengers
in an airplane parked at a gate in CYYC waiting to go on our
honeymoon. Sometime after boarding, the captain made a PA
that they had just heard that two aircraft had flown into
the World Trade Center and they believed that the Pentagon
had just been bombed. He went on to say that the airspace
was closed and therefore the flight was cancelled. Everyone
on the airplane collected their belongings and began to
deplane in complete silence. Our ALPA brothers, along with
their crewmembers and the other thousands of people, will
never ever be forgotten.
