Changed My Flight That Day, Saved My Life

Published 2 years ago Views 2784 I literally spent the week in Boston visiting family that week. Left Los Angeles on 9/5/2001 and was set to return to LA on Flight 11 from Boston to LA.

So I booked the 7:45 a.m. flight and simp

  I Remember It Well....

  Published: 2 days ago Views: 23 I remember 9/11 well. I was born early, and if I was born on my expected date, I would have been born on that dreadful day. Even if it was 2 years early.

  I Can'T Forget It

  Published: 3 weeks ago Views: 37 ...no matter what. It's my sister-in-law's birthday, and now they're making it into Patriot Day.

  I Still Have The Ticket Stub To The Twin Towers Observatory From A NYC Field Trip Four Months Before 9/11

  Published: 2 months ago Views: 162 First thing's first: Where was I when the events of 9/11 occured? I was in high school and doing an in class assignment during my math class.
