Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, Michael Tuohey remembers the moments of that day. He was the employee responsible for checking in two of the terrorists who hijacked the first plane to hit the Twin Towers in New York.
Tuohey describes his experience and the steps he followed on that fateful day. His work as a check-in agent at the airport placed him at the center of one of the most tragic events in recent history.
The article quotes Tuohey's words, acknowledging the weight of his involuntary participation: "I did my job and 3,000 people ended up paying with their lives," expressing the psychological burden he has carried since that day.
The memory of the attacks remains alive 25 years later, and stories like Tuohey's illustrate how many ordinary people became unexpectedly linked to these events that changed the world.
