We were on our way to the airport to come home from Majorca. Some people didn't want to get on the plane. Unless you were there the true absolute horror is hard to contemplate. Poor poor people, thinking of all those affected.
I was at Otopeni airport and asked someone if
the film were very badly chosen or it was real time
and an english speaker said - Real Time
and they just played repeats of shots of planes flying into buildings
Altho all the planes everywhere had been told to land .....
there wasnt enough parking space....
so the planes would have to be shipped ( or er fly) to somewhere else
and since they would be empty or .... full
the airlines probably wouldnt be able to resist putting passengers in them
so not much delay....
Are there any questions that need to be answered ?
evil men achieved evil things on that day
// I know folk who cancelled their planned NY hols they were due out November for Christmas shopping...//
I didnt want to spend the rest of my life in Hungary so I hopped on an aircraft - actually the driver to the airport ( blimey I remember now - I apologised for the Betrayal of Yalta - and he said that is the first time any westerner has mentioned it ) asked me how long I had been in Budpaest and volunteered that five days was abit long - most tourists do it in three.
hopped out of the taxi and into the airport to see planes flying into buildings
The british floor managers in the two buildings had zero mortality on their staff
( erm well there would nt have been many Brits in such a powerful position ) but anyway ..... without consultation they insisted on sending the staff home ( blimey at what cost ?) and said independently ( no cosy cuppa tea discussing it ) - "second bomb- standard IRA tactics"
[ apparently that was the big deal in Manchester - machine funning the screaming kiddies as they ran down the steps from the arena - which didnt occur]
At the time I worked for a holiday company who specialised in Disney packages. I'll never forget my disgust with people who were contacting us to find out whether we were now offering discounted trips to the U.S!
don't forget the ones who said that a plane never crashed into the Pentagon, Dave, cos everyone knows that planes wot crash into buildings don't leave that sort of devastation.
