Instead of soaring above the clouds at hundreds of miles per hour, Paul Veneto plods on the ground, pushing a beverage cart in 9/11 tribute.
Instead of soaring above the clouds at several hundred miles per hour, he plods along on the ground. The roar of jet engines is replaced by the rattle of a metal beverage cart rolling over bumpy roads – 300 miles of them.
Veneto worked nearly another decade after 9/11. But serving passengers was never the same. He and many of his airline colleagues traumatized by 9/11 were convinced it was only a matter of time before the terrorists tried it again.“You couldn’t drop a pin on a plane without me knowing about it,” he said. “I was like a cat on the plane.”“I was waiting every single time I got on a plane. I wanted revenge,” he said.
“Is this for real?” Stephen Lynch, one of Paul’s friends from the Boston area, shot back. “I didn’t believe it.” Paul says a new generation of flight attendants will never know what it was like in the weeks, months and years following the trauma of 9/11. The skies were never friendly again. Potential terrorists seemed to be everywhere – and nowhere.
