Thanks for pushing this back up. I was in NYC in August and although not able to see Ground Zero, thought a lot about how the city overcame such a terrible event. The people in NYC and surrounding boroughs treated us visiting very well. Their resilience is a testament to their strength.
Flying back and forth from LAX-JFK on UAL with Channel 9 on reminded me of this story and how electrifying yet chilling the OP must have felt when he first heard the deviation from normal ATC chatter. Listening to Ch. 9 still reminds me and us of all the dedicated professionals working for us to guide us safely during air travel, and when needed, to protect us.
Thanks Putt4eagle, wherever you are, your 8 posts have had a phenomenal impact.
