New security now, but airport was launching pad for terror
The Associated Press


Boston -- New security measures and a shiny new international terminal can't
erase the fact that Boston's Logan International Airport was a launching pad
for terror.

Two planes leaving Logan on September eleventh, 2001, were hijacked and
crashed into New York's World Trade Center.

A Mass and memorial service are planned today to honor the 156 passengers
and crew members aboard doomed American Airlines Flight 11 and United
Airlines Flight 175.

A ground-breaking also is set today for a memorial in Boston's Public Garden
featuring the names of all 177 Massachusetts residents who died in the
attacks.

Logan's director of aviation says the airport's place in history can never
be changed. But he says people must learn from the experience and do
whatever they can to improve security.
