Was living in Las Vegas and getting ready to go to work - caught a backward glimpse of the television in the mirror and saw smoke and flames and at first thought it was an earthquake in Cali, but soon found out different! Lived not far from McCarron so there was always a low undertone of jet engines overhead pretty much 24/7, but shortly thereafter you could honestly hear the air traffic trickling to a slow but full stop, was totally unreal... later was told the casinos started sending employees home as soon as they heard the airport had shutdown, total panicked that their source of incoming $$$$ had pretty much screeched to a halt...
Special thoughts and prayers today for the families who had loved ones who perished...
