Ground employee that night

I was a young, new-hire ticket agent with Eastern working at ATL (Atlanta, GA) that night. When the news starting trickling in, a suppressing silence took over. Everyone one of us at the ticket counter feared we knew some fellow employee onboard, and feared the worst. Most questions respectfully went unasked; those that were asked mostly went unanswered. Though I personally knew no one onboard Flight 401, my life too was touched and has been changed.
