Wife has been giving my grief about goingon holiday recently, ive been very busy with work, so i just said find something and book it !!

Came home from work tonight and to be told she has booked a hol and we go in sept, great i said when do we fly

Sept 11th O:
'well thats a great day to fly i said, we will prob have the plane to our self'
'Why is that she said?'

Go and enjoy it. It could have happened on any date. Security is so tight now at the airports, that anything like that happening again is very remote.

john_s 15 July 2003 09:42 PM

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest flying then.

Wouldn't have a problem with it, myself.

My parents were flying on September 11th while it was happening. Didn't stop the flying two days later on the 13th either.

Mice_Elf 15 July 2003 10:27 PM

Oh for goodness' sakes, it's just a date! :rolleyes:

I was in the air myself at the time it happened - doesn't stop me from flying on 11th September, though...

any hijackers WILL be marmalized by the passengers!
Would you sit and wait while some religeous twot flies you in to a building after Sept11?

ScoobyWon't 15 July 2003 11:01 PM

Infact my dad was going to get the next flight to New York as part of a Notts Fire & Rescue team to help out. It's just a date, and the act is unlikely to be repeated again.

philgr 15 July 2003 11:15 PM

It actually dont bother me in the slightest,

i was just seeing what other people thought

I think they would have a little more imagination than picking a flight to Majorca

i went to hong kong on september 11th it was perfectly fine, the atmosphere was a bit tense for obvious reasons, but apart from that it was a enjoyable ride.

I'd imagine it would be quiet....bonus, you may even get an upgrade?
Go for it!

Ended up flying with work on the 11th last year.
Only up to Manchester.
Only thing of note that happened was as I was walking back through the middle of the city when someone fired a cannon (at mid day) to commemorate the dead.
I shat my self.
Didn't know it was coming and it went off about 50 yards from where I was walking.
Flight back we a bit smelly.

sempers 16 July 2003 10:30 AM

Well, if I was going to do a repeat, I'd pick another date 'cos someone 'd be silly enough to increase security on the aniversary.. so there :D

Black Cat 16 July 2003 10:55 AM

Don't let stuff like that rule your life....
if you're number's up it won't matter what date it is...

i am flying to america on sept 11th this year, not really bothered about it. do you think they would do a simular thing on exactly the same date?

Little Miss WRX 16 July 2003 12:00 PM

Anything could happen at any time. When death comes for you, you will rarely avoid it!

Take life as it comes and do as much as you can. :D Too much time is wasted in worry IMHO. :)

Davey P 16 July 2003 12:22 PM

Just go for it

Leslie 16 July 2003 12:50 PM

Probably the safest date of the lot!

Les :)

My parents took my son to Italy last year and they flew on Sept 11th. The flight cost 1p!! The plane was only half full. I had no problem with letting him go and I would have no problem in flying myself. If they are going to hijack a plane again, they aren't going to pick Sept 11th are they?! Go and enjoy!!! :D

Jay m A 16 July 2003 03:19 PM

I'd be more scared of flying on new years day.

All those pilots and air traffic controllers with monster hangovers...

:p

pbee 16 July 2003 04:05 PM

I flew early hours of the 12th September, I flew last year on the 11th too ,just for making the statement about not letting terrorism rule our lives or they have won.

will try and fly this year too.

Trust me the plane will not be empty.
