Imagine flying on September 11th nowadays. I actually flew to Texas on that date in 2010, and from Florida back to New York in 2012. It was kind of trippy.
Imagine being the pilot of the plane that hit one of those buildings whose friend had seniority and bumped him from that flight, trading one life for another. Pastor at a church I attended a few times was supposed to fly that plane.... his buddy decided he wanted it the night before, or early that morning. Not sure which now... but to know you were supposed to be there but were spared...
