The story from a different perspective. That sense of frustration those controllers felt is the same engine that drives America now to seek revenge. I too sat there and watched ignorance and hatred destroy lives and buildings, and I wanted to do something -- anything -- to stop it. I'm sure most other Americans felt -- and feel -- the same way. All we can do now is stand together and declare "Never again!"

The posted article doesn't include the end of the segment:

Since the attack, O'Brien has been having nightmares. "I've sat up straight in bed many times, reliving it, reseeing it, rehearing it," she says. "And it's in the most absurd ways that only a dream could depict."

In her dreams, events unfold differently.

"The one that comes to mind most, dreaming of a green pool in front of me. That was part of the radar scope. It was a pool of gel, and I reached into the radar scope to stop that flight. But in the dream, I didn't harm the plane," she says. "I just held it in my hand, and somehow that stopped everything."

Can you imagine the heartbreak of this woman? She watched this all unfold on a radar screen in front of her, and could do nothing to stop it. She just wished she could take those men, women, and children, and hold them in her hand.

Stunning.
