Last year in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, a special edition of the airport newsletter, The Windsock, was issued. It captured the memories of several airport workers who were on the scene that dreadful day.
- We remember . . .
- American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston Logan to Los Angeles, and the 92 people who died when it crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center
- United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston Logan to Los Angeles, and the 65 people who died when it crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center
- American Airlines Flight 77 from Washington Dulles to Los Angeles, and the 64 people who died when it crashed in the Pentagon
