Touching History: The Untold Story Of The Drama That Unfolded In The Skies Over America On 9/11 (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
I discovered this book while working on another assignment for my Library Science class. My older sister is a flight attendant, and was flying for American Airlines on 9/11. Her plane had taken off from LaGuardia airport in the early morning of 9/11 and she was on her way to Houston, Texas. I'm very interested in learning more of that day, and better understanding all aspects of the tragic events that unfolded in those few hours. Caught Lynn Spencer on C-Span moderating a panel of people spotlighted in this book, and was captivated - so I checked the book out of the library.Ms. Spencer tells the stories of the commerical pilots, air traffic controllers, FAA, fighter jet pilots, and miltary personnel on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.It was fascinating, gripping - and uplifting to read about the good people who responded to an unforeseen attack.
