I was at Kansas City International Airport that morning with my wife, waiting to board a plane to L.A. on business. The airport monitors happened to be tuned to a news channel and we saw the footage of the first building smoking as we boarded the plane. At that time they weren't sure what had happened and our flight took off as usual.
About 30 minutes into the flight, we suddenly started decending quickly and we all knew something was wrong. The airline crew didn't say anything until we were on final approach to land in Oklahoma City,,, then they broke the news of the details. Everyone was real quiet,,,, stunned. After we got off the plane and into the very crowded airport, I booked it for a rental car counter but they were all sold out by the time I got there. My secretary ended up driving down from Kansas City the next day to pick us up, and we spent that day in a hotel room watching the news and praying.
