One beautiful clear-skied day over the North Atlantic Ocean, American Airlines pilot Beverley Bass got a message she would never have imagined she would receive.

She got the message as she was flying from Paris to Dallas. The message: A plane had hit the World Trade Center, and there was talk of terrorism.
Her heart almost stopped.
