A number of Boston’s residents went on to
twitter and Boston Logan Airport's Facebook page
to complain about the poor timing. A Boston
resident said on Boston Logan Airport's Facebook
page “I'm amazed that the collective brain trust
that makes up Massport just couldn't come up
with the logical conclusion that this exercise
on this day just doesn't make sense!! It's a
scary thought indeed to think that this
management is running things at one of the
busiest airports in the world”.
Given that the two planes that brought down the
twin towers at the World Trade Center where out
of Boston’s Logan Airport, officials at Massport
should have know this fire exercise would raise
concern that possibly the airport was undertake
by those who would see smoke coming from the
airport on this day and at minimum the event
would be viewed as insensitive to those who lost
love ones.
On September 11, 2001, at 7:59 AM an American
Airlines Boeing 767, Flight 11 departed Boston's
Logan Airport with a crew of 11 and 76
passengers for Los Angeles. Within moments of
the aircraft departing Logan al-Qaeda terrorists
took control of the aircraft. At 8:46 AM the
Boeing 767 crashed into the North Tower of the
World Trade Center.
