Ultimately, the reason Hernandez’s story sounds so bizarre is that the 9/11 attacks were a catalyst for an enduring change in the flying experience. However, there was no returning to the pre-9/11 flying experience. In the air, flight attendants make mental notes of what they could use as potential weapons if needed. For the fortunate, the flying experience sometimes can approach the way it used it be.
