911DA Story: Story
I was monitoring a Club Professional golf tournament that my company sponsors. We had heard of the plane hitting the first WTC and then went to the pro-shop and witnessed the second plane. We were in the pro shop when we heard that all planes had been grounded to the nearest airport.
My customer and I debated telling the players on the course and decided not too. So after a bit we went back out onto the course to watch play and think. Then from the North West direction a large plane, 757 or 767 was coming very slow and low over the course. I mentioned to my customer that it seemed odd as the Pittsburgh airport was no where near this planes flight path.
Then twenty minutes or so later my wife calls me on my cell phone and tells me that a plane had just crashed South East of Pittsburgh. We realized at once that we had seen the plane. I have visited the Flight 93 temporary memorial a number of times since the attacks.
Thanks to the heros aboard that plane!
