As you, I assumed that it had been a terrible accident, until I heard about the second tower. I was anxious to get home that day to watch the news. I was probably like many others and was fixated on the TV, watching news footage and trying to make sense of what had happened.Shannon Fieldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170613343824502553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497235309750460507.post-31080357336971038732011-09-11T06:28:50.582-07:002011-09-11T06:28:50.582-07:00Please excuse the auto corrects in my post, using ...Please excuse the auto corrects in my post, using my iPad.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692363828215969794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497235309750460507.post-54786091036942910342011-09-11T06:26:38.909-07:002011-09-11T06:26:38.909-07:00Great post Ralph.

As you can imagine with flights being grounded, we were slammed with calls almost immediately. Our staff was hearing one heartbreaking story after another, frequently moving them to tears. We brought in grief counselors to help them get throughout it, and despite all of the pain, they worked tirelessly through their breaks and lunches, coming in early and leaving later, all in the name of helping people get to their friends and family. On a happy note, while Avis lost a huge fleet of cars in the gravity, all of our staff members working in the towers were accounted for, safe and sound. <br /><br />I hope September 11th will be a day that will make everyone remember the unity and compassion we felt in the days and weeks after the accident, and forget about the petty annoyances we get bogged down with in everyday life.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692363828215969794noreply@blogger.com
