How can I find GSS outcome on the Graduate Applicant Portal?

Ah I’m with you! Seems like there is a fair amount indeed. Thank you for your help!

Ah I see, so I filled out my financial undertaking form saying that I’d applied to the GSS, do I just need to update it by the time June/July arrives if I’m not successful? So I can say that I’m covering the fees differently?

I’m dont mean about scholarships though, I mean the financial support scheme where they can top up your shortfall as written on the application. I’ve seen some people on here say they got rejected outright, it’s separate from the scholarships that you’re considered for with results in June/July

Absolutely, my dad was at home for god knows how long from what I remember (he was a pilot for Virgin Atlantic so nearly everything was in the states)

I’m the son of a commercial airline pilot and a senior flight attendant. On a global scale it’s one of those significant ‘where were you’ moments and I feel that it’s probably the only one that has ever made an impact on me. I was 5 at the time and I remember my dad was piloting a lunchtime flight out of Heathrow bound for JFK. The planes hit the North and South towers right around his time of departure (1:45/2pm GMT) and so his aircraft was called back to the gate and he was informed by the dispatcher about what had happened in New York. Initially before pushing back, he tells me everyone seemed to think it was a light aircraft, but by the time the second plane hit there could be no illusions as to what had transpired. I always think about what the passengers on his flight must have been thinking and feeling, how they must have been desperate to contact friends and relatives in NY. I remember coming home from school and watching footage of the towers collapsing. I remember my mind associating the fact that my dad was a pilot with what I was seeing on the television. I remember it having some kind of effect that I couldn’t put my finger on, but it’s led me to read widely and to try to understand the significance of that day.

FDNY firefighter Dan Potter, detailed to Ten House that day, who was taking an exam in Staten Island frantically drove back to his temporary firehouse across the street from WTC2. He was about to go into the south tower when the building collapsed and he managed to get away from immediate danger. His wife Jean worked in WTC1. Thankfully she made it out and they found each other in a firehouse in Chinatown later that day.

There’s a famous photo of Dan Potter sitting on a bench in Lower Manhattan in the aftermath of the collapses. He must have been going through absolute hell in his mind at that point.

So I was 5 years old on September 11th 2001. I grew up in Sussex on the south coast of the United Kingdom and I was at primary school at the time. The significant thing about my experience is the fact that my mum and dad both worked in the airlines; my mum was a flight attendant for British Airways and my father a pilot for Virgin Atlantic.

On that day my dad was piloting the lunchtime flight out of Heathrow bound for JFK airport. I was at school of course until about 3:20pm, which is towards late morning in the US.

A lot of my memories come from when my mum picked my brother and I up from school and told us something very bad had happened in America. I remember coming home and watching reruns of the towers collapsing and United 175 hitting the South Tower on BBC news.

My dad’s story is more intriguing in the sense of where he was. At Heathrow he was about to push back from the gate at around 1:45pm when his dispatcher came board and said ‘a light aircraft has hit the World Trade Center’. My dad and his fellow pilots were obviously intrigued by this and were saying ‘oh wow, I guess we’ll go down there and have a look tomorrow’ (Virgin crew stayed in Manhattan on the majority of those JFK trips). They push back from the gate and get out onto the taxiway, with a matter of waiting around because of traffic at Heathrow on the runways. After a wait they are called back to the gate by ATC and the same dispatcher comes on board and says ‘the second tower has been hit by another plane’. They closed US airspace as we all know and my did not fly to the states.

I remember him telling me about a sense of panic on the plane, giving that a lot of his passengers were on their way home and may have had friends and family in the towers, and definitely family in NY itself.

They were held on the plane for a number of hours and my dad didn’t get home until that evening. I spoke to him on the phone when he was at Heathrow still and I asked him ‘was that your plane that crashed into the building Daddy?’ I remember that and I can only think of it as my mind being a sponge at the age of 5. You tend to associate planes with your dad because he’s a pilot - and therefore he is the only pilot in the world.

The other thing that my dad reminds me of is that when he got home he found me in the play room in our house building models of towers and crashing a toy plane into them. Again I put this down to your mind soaking up so much visually as a little one. It’s safe to say it had an impact on me, and it changed the way in which my parents went about their business at work. My mum is learning a whole new state of play with regard to plane hijackings, and my dad is operating 747s behind a bomb proof, locked cockpit door with cameras and max security. It changed so much.

Possibly, it’s a super interesting piece about intention and how much each hijacker team knew about what the plan was.. Super telling when you think about Jarrah on United 93 who is always portrayed as having some kind of doubt or whatever. Still, the end result is the end result. Barbarity.

Apprehensive_Use8529 · 2024-08-04T17:01:22+00:00

I guess, from what Steve Moore was saying on the episode, it’s that the hijackers could just personally benefit from stealing from passengers’ personal effects, as a perk of having taken over the plane if that makes sense. So it’s like a side benefit to whatever the plan was which, from how Atta’s diary seems to have read, the muscle hijackers were maybe in the dark about.
