That morning around 7:30 i was walking up the stairs to take a shower
and had a sudden urge to pray for my son-in-law,
a 767 pilot leaving Kennedy at 8:00 AM that morning nonstop to LA.
While i pray for my family and friends every night, that's about it.
My wife had the TV on and as we watched the fire and smoke my daughter called
crying not knowing if Tim would be one of the planes involved..
I told my wife how i had the urge to pray as i went up stairs and she looked at me in amazement
as she had the same feeling and had prayed at the same time.
We didn't know he was safe until 11:30 when he called to say he had asked for
permission to land in ST. Louis as soon as the tower controllers had warned about
what was happening. He had to stay there for 6 days with his plane until he
could fly it home.
There is no doubt in my mind that the terrorists had looked at his flight
as a possible plane as it had the same MO as the others,
767, nonstop to the coast with a full tank, and leaving at 8:00 AM.
