My story:
I arrived at the military desk at 8:35 AM that morning and made over 40 phone calls to NEADS
Tracked AAL11 from 20 South of ALB until radar lost
Though I feel I performed well that day I did make several mistakes
One of them was advising NEADS that AAL11 was still in the air
Also advising that DAL1989 was a Hijack
I helped launch fighters from Otis, Langley, Andrews, Selfridge, Toledo, ???
I called NEADS about an aircraft near the White House
I worked on the Movie UAL93
