I was in the air that morning when this unfolded. I remember it like it was yesterday. This will always be a tough day for as long as I live.
I knew Jason. He checked me out on my initial 727 FE as a new hire, and I worked with him quite a bit on the Shuttle. Outstanding person.
What really freaked me out about the entire event, I just went on vacation, and was at home the morning my mom called to let me know to turn on the TV. The previous week, I had been flying Flt 93. Jason did everything right, and still paid the ultimate price. Very easily could have been me if I wasn't so junior, and I had a Sept vacation.
Never forget.
