Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001 my wife and I were flying from Detroit Michigan to Las Vegas Nevada for Vacation and to purchase property in Laughlin Nevada. We were near Albuquerque, New Mexico at approximately 33,000 feet when the pilot made the announcement that we were being deverted to the nearest airport by the airlines. A few minutes later the pilot came back with another statement. He said, "I assure you there is nothing wrong with the aircraft we have just been instructed to land at the nearest airport which will be Albuquerque. There will be more information when we land. I looked at my wife and said "There is probably a terrorist on board and they want to get the aircraft on the ground". When we landed and departed the aircraft we could hear the commotion in the terminal. The Pilot stopped us and explained that an aircraft had crashed into the World Trade Center. He could not give more information than he did in flight because of the possibility of a potential terrorist taking this as an opportunity to take another aircraft. The second aircraft crashed into the other tower shortly after we landed. We called our children to let them know that we were safe. They were very concerned and worried. It was a great relieve to know we were safe. We all stood around the TV's and watched in horror, the attacks on America. Two days later we rented a car a drove to Las Vegas with a newly wed couple from London, Ont. and a gentleman from Lima, Ohio.
