Since I had several bankers heading with me for client calls, I insisted we fly one of the el cheapo airlines rather than the much more expensive flights on AA to conserve our travel budget. We would normally have taken the morning flight on AA that was one of the two that flew into the WTC. I will never forget that. So much in life is simply chance.

SF was an eerie place that day. Completely shut down. After two days we rented a Ford Excursion and drove X-country non-stop back to Boston in two and a half days. Got home just as the airports were reopening.
