My sister-in-law and niece were in New York on September 10th for the Michael Jackson concert. The plans were to leave on September 11th after having breakfast in the Top of the World restaurant in the WTC. My sister-in-law had a strange feeling to leave right away and skip breakfast there. They left on an earlier plane not knowing what was going on until the pilot announced that there had been an emergency and they had to land in Lincoln, Nebraska. When they got off the plane and were taken to a Red Cross shelter the TV was on and they saw what was happening. Both of them were in total shock but very grateful because had it not been for that feeling to leave right away they would have been in the WTC when the plane hit.
