Even today, when ever I see and airplane in the sky, I wonder if I keep looking will I see it come down and crash into a building?
Yes! Me too!
I used to work for a major international airline and traveled frequently between the US and Europe. This was during the golden years of aviation in th 70s to mid 80s, when the worst incidents were empty planes bombed on the tarmac in Italy. Shortly after I quit to raise my daughter, there was the Lockerbie incident where a bomb exploded on the aircraft while flying at 30,000'. The view of the earth from up there is just magnificent and it horrifying to imagine the fear of those passengers knowing they were doomed to death. The same for the passengers that flew into the WTC, Pentagon and PA field. I am so grateful for the beautiful memories I hold from those years when I was able to board an aircraft without fear.
