I spent late summer and the fall in Germany in 1988 and this was my scheduled return flight. I chose this one because the flight from Frankfurt was going to land at Heathrow then we changed planes for the flight to New York. I’d never been to either destinations. The friend I went to visit decided to go home for the holidays, change of plans, so I flew out the 22nd, the day after the crash. Needless to say the Frankfurt airport was crawling with security, complete with assault rifles. All passengers were escorted from the airport via the tarmac one by one to the plane. This flight was direct to Atlanta.
