The Michael Horrocks Story which was published in the Philadelphia Daily News by Dick Jerardi was excellent. Mike was the first officer on UA 175. His friends are trying to create a memorial statue at his college. The link to the story is below.

Kevin,
I think the weather was spectacular all over the nation that day. It was here in Dallas. I remember the elation when all of our aircraft were down safely, and then it seemed that we all collectively asked each other, “what happens now?” A few years ago, I went to the theater to watch United 93. I think my eyes must have been wet the entire 90 minutes in the theater. The movie was a cathartic moment, but even today, I find myself reliving parts off that awful day.

I was working for NW at PDX. I was scheduled to work nights. I awoke to my wife shaking me awake and telling me with great urgency to turn on the TV. My first sight was of the 2nd plane hitting the tower.

Shortly thereafter, I was called in to work early. As I drove down I-205, I was stunned by 2 things: First how slowly (and considerately) everyone was driving, and second by how absolutely fantastic the weather was.

A coworker and I waited behind our Airfreight facility for a ride down to the terminal. The airfield silence was haunting and disconcerting. My friend turned to me and asked possibly the most poignant question ever: “Do you think our jobs will be affected by this?”

I was working for a consulting firm in Washington DC that day, located opposite the World Bank building. We could see the smoke from the Pentagon. It was the worst of days, but brought out the best in some people…at least for a little while.

Thank you for remembering.
