First rating shows facility rating at McGuire Afb Oct 1995

Anti-hijacking procedures and training were something controllers were trained for but no one was prepared for hijacked aircraft being used as weaponry.

New York Center is the air traffic facility that feeds all major airports in the North East between Washington Center and Boston Center.

There were new agencies created to help prevent future attacks. New training was provided to controllers and there was a revamp of all anti-hijack type training. I'm hopeful that the new procedures in place would prevent a catastrophe of this magnitude.

Proof Please? I'll post a picture of my "pink card later" (FAA Atc license) 1)How were you notified? My supervisor got word from NY Center 2)While working, did you have security come inside and supervise? No 3)How nervous were you personally? Moderately 4)Worst reaction from a pilot or someone else you communicated with that day? Some folks were visibly shaken to the point of tears.
