I was booked on a flight from Boston, scheduled to depart around 8:00 a.m. on 9/11, bound for my home in Seattle. Things wrapped up early in Boston, so I decided to try to fly home late on the 10th. I managed to re-book on the last flight to Seattle on 9/10. If I hadn't made that chance decision, my flight would have been grounded somewhere over the northeast US. Shortly after I awoke the next morning, my wife received a phone call telling her that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I assumed it was a small plane, until I turned on the TV... Hard to believe that was 24 years ago.
