My dad worked for IBM and was sent to nyc a few days after to get the computer servers data at the Merrill lynch building. Lost his badge so they thought he died on 9/11

It’s so crazy how after 24 years we still here stories about 9/11 or on the actual date that we never heard before

Thank you for sharing your story: I always tell my kids about how cell phones didn’t work for days after 9/11.

My mom was also flying home (to Cleveland) from Chicago that morning and was in the airport as well! I was sitting in school and when I heard about the planes I was so scared because I knew she was flying. Ugh. That day is so clear in my brain

My mom is a survivor of tower 1. My dad & I had just dropped her off at work shortly before 8am. It’s a day that will live with me forever. Glad to hear they were safe!

My mom was flying from Philly to Orlando at 8:30am on 9/11 - the pilot dropped altitude and flew out over the ocean. They ended up landing in Jacksonville but president bush was there that morning and it was chaos. They rented a car and drove straight back to Philly

My dad was a captain for American and was flying that day, 3 days before retirement. It was almost 18 hours after the attacks before we got to talk to him. That whole time we had no idea if he was okay or not. Turns out he was diverted to Toronto and it was hours before he could deplane, find a phone and get through to us from a landline. Honestly, I’m 54 years old now, and I’m still not okay from that day.

Grew up with your parents at church for a solid majority of my most of teen years at Wickline and have never heard this story. Absolutely insane. I’m sure your dad used this in a sermon at some point but I obviously wasn’t listening 😂

We were stuck in Ireland (Dublin) had been over there for a week. No way to contact home. My BIL was a pilot for United Airlines out of PA at the time too. We didn’t know until another 3-4 days if everyone was ok at home or not. We live in Philly- people traveling for work in and out of NY, - pilot BIL- we just didn’t know. It was awful. Flying home a week later was so so emotional, everyone on board was on edge and some were crying.

I was 25 years old working just across the River in NJ on that day. My sister and father were both in the city. My sister was evacuated by boat and my father walked till he found a bus. I am crying. I’ll never forget that day. Ever. And anyone who says J6 was bad needs their head examined.

Went remote out in the taxiway. wild times.
