9/11.

The smell of air fuel fills the air.

We boarded the plane as usual, The ladies folded their collars and the men loosen their ties as soon as the caption was out of sight. I was doing my usual run on the left giving out lollies to everyone as we started taking air.

Fifteen minutes into the flight three of our crew members were not seen for a good ten minutes,They were old so we assumed they were sleeping or complaining that the passengers were eating their food we had given them. We then realised that men have forcibly breached the cockpit, overpowered the captain and the first officer. licensed commercial pilot, took over the controls. Now we had been down crew members and were unsure what to do. We  realized the flight had been hijacked when Foreigners announcements for passengers to stay seated and if anyone was to move they will shoot rapidly. My partners Amy Sweeney and Betty Ong contacted American Airlines, and provided information about the hijackers and injuries to crew. The crew had no access now to the cockpit, so I then just sat down and hoped for the best. I was sitting next to this lady Nellie Casey, 32 years of age, She told me about her 7 month old daughter, and how she meant the world to her. When she said how much they meant to her I knew that this lady had no right to die. The cockpit door opened. three foreign men came out well armed and scanning the room, They seemed as though they were looking for something, Row by row they looked. And then they stopped at me.

“Stand up”, pointing their guns towards the ceiling then back at my feet. I stood up and followed the men to the front. They ripped my crew card of my neck and read my name. “Kathleen Nicosia” The put the gun up to my head and said aloud “The first to leave this world this day on the plane, aren't you glad it’s you” I shut my eyes, prayed to the lord, And for Nellie Casey to live on.

The bullet broke the wind and spun pounding into my chest. My last sight was the nose of the plane crashing into the tower as bodies flew from shattered glass. Screaming as blood ran and tears were shed from  faces.
