Where were you 5 years ago tommorrow

[skippy3481]

I have a pretty unique story. Most of you dont know but i went to flight school in florida. 5 years ago i was sitting on the runway cleared to take off, pushed the power foward, was about halfway to roation and i heard the controller frantically screaming abort takeoff. Slam on my breaks thinking wtf, there is nothing on the runway must be some type of emergency in the air nearby. I asked the tower controller what was up, but he only replied the faa had grounded all flights and wouldn't say anymore.
As i was taxing back to our ramp, i heard them launch our alert fighters(we were only 20 miles from kennedy space center)

Got back in to our dispatch area and they had cnn and found out what was going on. Hit me very hard that not only would people kill innocent people, but that they would use something i love(airplanes) to do it. Spent the next two days in a stupor waiting to see what would happen. Still does not seem real when i think about it.
