Time seems to flow faster and faster.
It is hard indeed to believe that a decade and a half has passed since that awful night.
I can clearly remembering the teletype clattering with a message from JFKOO (not TWA) that a TWA 747 had crashed off Long Island. The supervisor saw the message at same time and said "Oh, no!". Then we both quietly told everyone. Then ducking into the breakroom every few minutes to see the news flashes on TV. The TV trucks and cameras outside the TW counter. Listening to the all news station on the drive home and the terrible news of no survivors. The speculation about terrorism and the history of TW847 and the 707 lost to a bomb in '74.
RIP to those lost and condolences to their loved ones.
Fifteen years.
