These are great interviews! I wish the video had begun with a quick blurb about who dispatchers are and what they do. I was a part 121 dispatcher long ago, but I doubt most people know how these people are related to their flights, what their duties are, and what authority they have. Dispatchers are the "captains on the ground".
If they found their bags and discovered all that material in them, it's hard for me to imagine they couldn't figure out who they were, even if they were flying under assumed identities. They probably got DNA and fingerprints too. I'd never heard about this 5th plane. Had they behaved themselves, no one would have known about them. I wonder how many others there were with hijackers who didn't lose their cool. Gives me shivers. That day just never ended, one attack, one building collapse after another.

This made the trauma ...which i knew was there...for the dispatchers really real. Thanks for sharing this
The answer to the 5th plane which I've heard about was confirmed with the additional information that I hadn't heard, until now.
