Paul Korda's Narrow Escape from 9/11's Flight 93

Los Angeles- September 10 2011 International Entertainment News report by Stephen Fisher

British Singer, songwriter Paul Korda's decision to fly September 10th from London to Los Angeles direct, saved his life, for he thought the stopover in Boston would make the flight home too lengthy.
On September 7th 2001 Paul Korda went to London travel agent Travel Mood to purchase his return ticket to Los Angeles having just come to an agreement with a UK music publisher and was glad the lengthy negotiations had come to a close, and he could return home to LA. He was offered two choices, one being the direct flight American Airlines 935 on September 10th or the cheaper, lengthier Flight 93 via Boston, on September 11th. He was happy to be going home, and wanted to be back in the sunshine asap.
On September 10th he went to Heathrow from Paddington Station, and when he checked in at the station, they had run out of American baggage tags, and used Lufthansa ones. Not thinking this was unusual, until he was asked to leave the aircraft by a nervous East Indian security officer. "I wondered what had happened, when he told me about about the Lufthansa tags, once we had deplaned. He seemed very fearful, I remembered and wondered after the 9/11 event, if they were on some alert status already. After I told him how they had run out of tags at the station he was relieved and took me back to the plane.
The strange thing about the flight was that twice I woke up from naps, having nightmares about fiery plane crashes. I supposed at the time that they were just my fear of flying coming out. Little did I know what my son Felix and I would see the following morning.
The heroes of Flight 93 who took on the hijackers saved many lives as well stopping the possible destruction of the White House I admire their great courage, and yet I am grateful to have been spared the horror it must have been for them."

Living in the Sky music video by Paul Korda and Allan Holdsworth celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the International Space Station


At a time when conflict between Nations could be spurred on by economic, territorial and global warming issues, the world needs to be reminded that with the exploration of Space, the planet Earth has a future that goes well beyond the disputes that wear down the fabric of civilization, and this future began when the International Space Station started it's first journey toward International cooperation on November 20th 1998 helping to heal the wounds of the Cold War. The orbital assembly of the space station began with the launch from Kazakhstan of its first bus-sized component, Zarya. The station is a venture of international cooperation among NASA, the Russian Federal Space Agency, Canadian Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA, and 11 members of the European Space Agency, or ESA: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Singer and songwriter Paul Korda, whose song "Living in the Sky" won the Japan Expo in 1985, at the time recorded his song with UK guitar virtuoso Allan Holdsworth, and 23 years later the record sees the light of day with the posting of the video on YouTube to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the International Space Station.
