How'd they find homes for that many planes that quickly? That must have been chaos.

I lived on a military base at the time. Every gate was closed, no clue if they let anyone in or what.

I deleted my post because Im sure Ill get modded for calling someone an ignorant baby even though thats what I literally mean (if you werent born before 9/11/2001, theres still a high chance youd know why the day is important once you were older than an infant with no learning capacity) and not as an insult.

Interesting fact: The way banking was done changed because of that.

A. It's crazy how much more dense the airspace is over the Eastern US
B. They had planes landing and parking on tarmacs and wherever they could fit a plane.

I think the West Coast has some pretty significant populations as well.

Regardless, as the events of 9/11 happened early in the morning, time zone logic would dictate that east coasters were already up and about bustling with activity.

Remember, this was from East coast time. It was 7 am when it was 10 am on the East coast, and most domestic flights take place during the daytime and evening. Not early morning. And there's also the whole "EU flights coming and going" thing, the number of flights to Asia are lower because the distance is far greater. There's a reason why most flights to Asia head north over Canada and Alaska first, curvature of the Earth. :/

https://www.digitalcheck.com/what-is-check21/

Through the end of the 20th century, final clearing of checks in the United States was still done physically even though much of the settlement procedure was electronic, the original paper checks still had to be returned to the account-holders bank at the end of the process. To accomplish this, the Federal Reserve Bank and the banking industry itself operated a fleet of more than 100 private jets to transport checks across the country each night after the end of business.

However, the events of September 11, 2001, exposed a weakness in the system: As you may remember, all air travel in the country was shut down for a week after the attacks. This caused a small crisis in the nations financial system as checks backed up, eventually requiring emergency intervention by the Federal Reserve.


Basically grounding all planes seriously screwed up our financial system and made us realize we probably should use technology to make it better.

Wow! Thats crazy, and also seems very inefficient/wasteful, that they were using such a jerry-rigged method as late as 2001!

Thanks for sharing
