Please, Islam, you keep professing you are a "peaceful religion," but we out West are NOT seeing it! Please prove us wrong!! |
This is a very 'Moving' story......of a pilot, who was bumped off the flight #11, he scheduled him self to pilot.......on September 11th......BOS-LAX.........
a 'Twisting of fate'....that just made me stop and think...........WOW.......!!!!!
maybe, there is something to the 'phenomenon'...called..... "Fate".......!!!???Either way, it is quite a story.......I'm not very religious, and I am NOT pushing 'religon' on anyone, at all, .....Twists and Turns of life, is it's own 'Religon', I think........and let it be up to each of us, to make the sense of it all........in our own way,.............♠

My 9/11 'Recollection'.............
written 1 year ago(10 yr anniversary)....by me..............
and "Posted on Bas's(Aviation Talk and Sky Science) blog last year.............♠
September 11, 2001….I was running a computerized Vertical milling machine at work……and I overheard a co-worker say……"a plane hit one of the WTC towers"….and my answer out loud as with a gazillion of us said.....”Must be one of those small planes ….cesssna’s..blah blah blah………………
then…as a little time past ..It became clear...........this was not so small a plane..........No TV, at work.......only the radio blarring…over all the machinery…
Thats when all the music STOPPED….and it went to 'Emergency News'….and realized this was for Real, then hearing over the radio........……they were not sure how many other planes were out there….that this was happening in "REAL TIME"........OMG.......”WE THINK THERE IS ANOTHER PLANE OUT THERE …HEADING FOR WASHINGTON…."!!!!!!!
having that Scared in your Gut feeling…and not a thing you can do about it…..so small in the scheme of things…compared to real world…real people dying ….events, looking back now….
and I started praying this was not happening….stayed all day at work..........listening to the Horrible news.......I wanted to go home, but I was also, scared to go home......to an empty house.......!!!
Finally got home..sat on my “jet spotting swing"...... husband was out of town…..I was PETREFIED TO TURN THE TV ON….BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED, I HAD NOT “SEEN ” A SECOND OF COVERAGE AND IT WAS ABOUT 5 PM….SO IT WAS SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE FACT….I WAS SCARED TO DEATH….BUT I DID TURN TV ON…..AND HAVE NOT BEEN THE SAME….AS ALL OF US!!!!!!
One of the loves of my life has been with me all weekend…one of my granddaughters….Jasmine….she is 9…she had not been born yet in 2001……she spent the weekend with me, and I have spent 2 days…telling her…about this Horrible day(10 yrs ago)…..and the promising 'Future', I wish for her…..and that I am not sure it for better or worse..at this point….do you know…..????????????????
fill me in….
I also remember waking up September 12th for work…..for several seconds….. I thought….”THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORST DREAMS I’VE EVER HAD......!!!!!
Then realized….it was NOT a bad dream….No shaking this off!!!!!!!!Feeling safe in my own country......was just a 'Given'.......Bad things only happen in other countries......well that went out the back door...........everything is different.....now.........but not sure "How"….in different terms…..I don’t know if it had not happened…but I would NOT be typing these words….so everything is different…..but I breathe, which is ....more than ……many that horrible day…!!!!!!!!!
Jasmine, wasn't born till Feb of 2002….but I want her to know the importance…of this….for her future….and personally…my 'Fear' for that future…which I have not told her I have…..
George W. Bush….did the coin toss for” Sunday Night Football…NFL…”
NY Jets…vs..the lowlllly Dallas cowbooooooys
GO JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not done here……but I have to take a break….and besides your sleeping, Bas….pause…..for a cracked smile…..

after getting home from work, on 9/11, 2001…when I sat on my “Jet spotting swing” alone…. I remember distinctive…..there isn’t ONE …NOT ONE OTHER PLANE in the sky…..and I got it…I knew the gravity of that….although you can't cash that sort of thing into anything….except experience….and the hope for it not to be repeated………!!!
Bas, you were 9…..I love that you have placed this history close to your Heart….and understand….the Biggness and so on…..What a day…What a night……our lives we have …lets make it good PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

♠________________________♠
I think the Best 'Revenge', to those who mean to do us in...........is to "Live"............our lives and make sure the our children and grandchildren.........have every chance possible to achieve any goals they set.............!!!!!!!! I think it starts with.........taking the 'Time' and really listen to kids when they talk...........there's so much in a child's conversation........above and beyond what they may be actually talking about.......and when listening..........make eye contact.......as well, ...........
The best 'Gift'...........you may give a child is your
"Undivided Attention"..............!!!!!!!!
Below are a couple of 'short' videos.....I took of a young boy......and a couple of his 'prize' possessions....
please take a moment or two,....to watch....I'm no 'cinematographer'........so the quality leaves a lot to be desired...........but it not about that, it's about a young boy, and his planes.............!!!.
Ok......this first video was taken on August 30, the first full day after 'hurricane Isaac' made landfall here over Houma.........It was Thursday, me and Duck went to some friends house to watch the last 'Saints' preseason game............while friends and neighbors help each other clear the pieces of tree's, large branches and debris.....laying out all over he place after a storm............It's neighbor helping neighbor......so you can hear the chainsaws blaring in the background.....and watch these Damn "Cajun's"....(who are afraid of nothing).....cut a tree branch down the size of a 'crossover SUV'.....while dangling from a ladder 20,30 feet high.....so myself and Karen go to her neigbhor's house to do what we do best...........which is "SUPERVISE"...........;)))))
.......but Serious, this is quite 'Lovely'........how we look out for each other........!!...So I find out that....the little boy across the street wants to show me his jets and airplanes...........you can hear the excitement in my voice, Serious....I was so 'Excited'.......the boys name is Keegan.....and he's 8 years old....and in this crazy fast paced world........really, I think the Kids get lost in the shuffle, no one really listens to the kids too much.....
Well I was all 'ears' when Keegan starting showing me and my friend(Karen)...his 'Planes'..........I don't know what was louder............my "Big mouth" or the "Chain saws".......eshh
World......meet "Keegan".....he is 8 years old.......
and is showing me the first of 3 Jet airplanes he has......This was the day after hurricane Isaac passed over......Children, should be our most "Treasured Natural Resource"......!!!!!!!!!!!
listen to him talk in the next couple of short video's I took....We could all learn alot........!!!
First Lesson........... "REALLY" Listen to the children, when they speak.........!!!!!!......you can hear me talking in the background asking him questions......I was having So much Fun......Listen to Keegan.....and we can learn...........!!!
Tell me the Tail #.....I want to look it up......Keegan......!!
This is 'Keegan' ......the "Engineer"......
explaining how this lego/drago plane operates...listen to him explain the workings.........this is "PRICELESS".....♠.
without Imagination, we would, probably still be dragging our knuckles when we walked.......!!!!!
Keegan the ''destroyer".....When my friend, Karen, asks Keegan when he built this seaplane.........he says his Momma built it, but he destroyed it.....LOL.....what a precious moment........when, he flat out says he "destroyed" it,........sometime after his Momma had built it.......I Cracked up.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey "Cappy", check out Keegan's Super Cool T-shirt..............♠
Thank you Keegan, for sharing your love of "Airplanes"!!!!!! Your future is every bit as 'Bright' and 'Promising', as your smile............♥ |

Julie...Julie...Julie:
I'm sure that in Heaven, blogs are read. So, I'll bet yours got almost 3,000 hits today alone.

One video leads to another. I've spent some time looking, and I'll be back.
So many stories. I had not been aware that there were kids on those planes. Rather, it did not really dawn on me. One boy had confided to his Dad that he was afraid to fly. The father told him not to worry...
I agree. Kids should REALLY be listened to. And, they don't mess up the world; the grownups sometimes do that.
Great videos of your neighborhood! And of the young neighbor!
Nature's got a temper.
Miss T,
What a great post. Thanks for sharing your moments during the horrific tragedy. It amazes me that we can so vividly remember that day, and yet I can barely remember a week ago what I wore. Ugh!
Great pics, except I am not sure I like the WTC one. It kinda gave me the heebie jeebies. LOL!
Lil Keegan is a cutie. He has such a cute smile and seems so eager with life. :)
Again, thanks for sharing...and remember what may try to destroy this great nation. also makes us stronger. We are FREE!
Bon xoxo
OMG love Keegan's shirt, lol!! He reminds me of the little girl on my "Escorting a Fallen Hero" post...a little hope on a grim day!! What can Cappy do for Keegan?! Just tell me!!
Loved your pink JIhad pic--stole it for my blog!! And the Capn Dave pic--fantastic!!
No competition on the blogs, Dear. We are all trying to share our thoughts, memories and blessings on this day!!!
OH, and PPS: that "Flight Speed Indicator" is a "Vertical Speed Indicator." If the "Black Box" is inop or missing, investigators can use it to figure out VSI at impact by noting the paint tic mark where the needle scratches the dial at impact.
...and thanks for posting my pics--God Bless America!!
Hi Paul{Daniel}....What a "Lovely" thing to say, that blogs are read in Heaven, and I got 3000 hits, for 9/11!!!!
and so true about Mother Nature has a terrible temper, she definitely knows when it's time to "Cull"...!!!!
I'm glad you liked the short vid's.....of Keegan, and his 'treasures'.....many times a 'seed' can be planted, by just spending quality time with a child.....
I hope all is going good with you,and I am always, so pleased when you stop in to visit.......!!!
__________..I'm still practicing my 'straight' lines......but I'm partial to my
"......'s".....No body can draw a straight line better that you, fo sho........;)
LOL..........;))))
Take Care Paul{Daniel}
Hi Bonnie.......!!!!!!
Yes, So right.....about our Country, and it's "Strength".......especially after 9/11...!!!
But, I "Fear" that now, we appear 'weak' and 'indecisive' to the world.....hopefully, a change this Fall, will be a 'New Beginning' of sorts for our Country, we Love so much.......!!!!
Girl, you take it easy, and thanks for stopping by, as I've said before, I Love the 'womans touch' you and GG bring here!!!!
You Take Care girlie.........!!!!!
So True!!!! Cappy about Keegan, reminding you of the little girl, on your
"Escorting a fallen hero".........post.....!!!!!
They remind us, and give Us the "Hope".....for a future for them, and we should do everything possible, to guide them, when in fact, many times, They are guiding and reminding us, as well!!!!!!!!
Of course, there's NO competition here on the blogs......
My Blog is 'BETTER', than your blog.....!!!!!!!!!
KIDDING LOLOLOLOLOL.......Big Time Joke......!!!!!!
There is No competition, and anything, on my blog, you can 'beg', 'borrow' or 'steal'........!!!!.....
The pic, is a pic that Captain Doug, took last year, flying into JFK..
We all miss his blog, very much,.....and in fact, his blog brought many of us together, and I will always be thankful to him, for that........not to mention, he took a beating from me, with my 'Sassy' mouth as well!!!
It was "Aviation" that brought us together.....!!!!
Your welcome, about posting your pics....!!!
Interesting fact, about the "Vertical Speed Indicator".........I sure hope no one thought, I was going for 'shock value' by posting that picture.....!!!
I put, only to remind of the true 'Horror' of that day.....!!!!!!
When I saw Keegan's shirt, I thought of you right off the bat.........with the 'Dragon' on it......there is just nothing, like the 'Innocence'...and 'Wonder', in a childs face....when you ask them, about something, they love!!!!!
Paul{Daniel}........I was just reading your comments left from my last post...........and this sentence comes to mind, after reading them.........
YOUR WORDS ARE MAGIC.......PAUL[DANIEL]......"MAGIC'......!!!
