11 September 2008, LGA-DCA-LGA (Video)

[fly.mcs]

As a few of you know, my cousin James D. Debeuneure was killed onboard American Airlines 77. I flew down to DCA on September 11th to attend the Pentagon Memorial. It was beautiful; the families met with the President, and I sat just rows behind Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Vice-President Dick Cheney, and First Lady Laura Bush. I will create another thread, with photos, to document this sentimental experience.

Here is footage from both my outbound and inbound flights:

US2188 DCA-LGA (featuring the WTC lights from the air; approx. 1:41)


Senator Charles Schumer of New York was seated in 3D on my return flight to New York; it was an eventful day!
Enjoy the videos, and feel free to post comments!
