I was due to fly MAN-FRA on LH at around 18:30 on 9/11/2001. I assumed the flight would be cancelled, but went to the airport anyway. I was told that the flight was still OK.

Once through security, there used to be a sports bar at MAN T1 that had a big bank of TV's that made one giant TV. This had one of the UK news channels on, and there must have been 200 people standing and watching the replays of the planes hitting the towers.

My flight went without incident, but I noticed that nobody got out of their seats for the whole flight.

Cheers,
Rick
