Sometimes Your Mind Wanders And You Ponder Random Details About 9/11 . . .

Were JetBlue passengers watching 9/11 coverage on their personal television sets? Yes:

Jet Blue flight attendant Suhadee Henriquez was flying cross-country on the morning of September 11, 2001 as four aircrafts were hijacked by terrorists.

“I watched everything unfold,” Henriquez said. “I had to keep calm even though I didn’t know what was happening.”

Like the hijacked planes, the 727 that Henriquez was working on was well fueled and packed with passengers, and as her travelers began to piece together the details of the day from watching their personal TV sets, panic set in at 37,000 feet, she told aviation officials and Vaughn College students at an event on Wednesday, September 4.

“I turned around and looked at the TV and the second airplane hit,” Henriquez said.

Other items you may or may not have been wondering about include whether the lottery was delayed or postponed. Not New York’s pick three (the numbers that day were 0, 3, and 8 — look it up if you want). And the Wednesday/Saturday Powerball drawing chugged along as if nothing happened, as well.

I mean, even Broadway held out until Thursday the 13th!
