Un piloto cubano recuerda que tuvo que aterrizar de emergencia en Nueva Orleans el 11 de septiembre de 2001

On September 11, 2001, Cuban-American pilot George Fariñas was ordered to divert from his scheduled flight path to New York and perform an emergency landing in New Orleans. The directive came as the United States government ordered the total closure of the national airspace following the Al Qaeda terrorist attacks.

Years later, Fariñas recalled the events of that historic day, highlighting the immediate disruption to commercial aviation and the unprecedented security measures enacted across the United States in the wake of the attacks.
