Brought back memories...

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2013)

At that very same time, I was on a flight from Paris to San Jose, CA. When the pilot announced we wouldn't get there because of "terrorist attacks" on American airports and other strategic places, and when I saw the sadness on the crew's faces, I had only one thought: "please, let us be safe". Luckily, we stayed safe, we were redirected to Calgary, Canada, where we stayed for 10 day before being able to get back to Belgium.
I was in charge of a group of 45 people, an "incentive travel". I remember passing my mobile phone to other passengers, mostly not belonging to my group, to allow them to call home to tell that we were going to be OK. But we still didn't know what happened in reality. It was horror when we discovered it, in a small room - with TV - at Calgary Airport.
All my life I will remember the reception at Calgary Airport, the gentle people that helped us out, there. I will not go into details. It still is hard to remember. And I wasn't even directly involved.
Just to say, I can imagine the fear, the horror, but also the braveness of the people, like me, like you, aboard that flight United 93. They were heroes, and this movie does them justice. May the be remembered always.
