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.
