Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I work for Continental Airlines, Intercontinental Airport. I work in the control center. The morning of the attack I was sitting at my desk, it is just around the corner from the breakroom, where there is a televison. Someone came out of the breakroom and said that an airplane had just hit the WTC. We all jumped up from our desks and went to watch the television reports. At this time we are all thinking that this is a small aircraft, the type used for tourist site seeing. But as we look at the hole in the side of the WTC we are discussing that the damage was too large for a small aircraft. The next thing we see is the second attack occur. We know at that instant that this was no accident. At this point, there is silence quickly followed by mass activity. The annoucement is made shortly after that, all aircraft are being ordered to land at the nearest airport, THE NEAREST, no matter where they are. A couple of hours latter the announcement is made that all of our aircraft are accounted for. The sense of relief was overshadowed by the knowledge that we had lost airline family members. Even though they were not from our immediate family there were family never the less.
