I was at Port Columbus Internation Airport at 9:10 AM to pick up some business collegues. The scene at the airport was the most erie I've felt. At least a hundred people were gathered around a big screen TV at one of the gift-shops. Some were frantic, others in disbelief.
When the announcement echoed through the terminals that all flights across the nation had been cancelled effective immediately at the direction of the FAA - it got completely silent. It was all so surreal.
What a tragedy.
