Lt. Col. Dan Nash, left, and Col. Tim Duffy, in a WBUR studio (Jesse Costa/WBUR)
Here’s another story from the WBUR 9/11 series produced by myself and Lisa Tobin. The morning of Sept. 11, two pilots were on duty on the Eastern Seaboard, Lt. Col. Dan Nash and Col. Tim Duffy. Or, as known by their call signs, “Duff” and “Nasty.” They sped from their base on Cape Cod toward Manhattan, and arrived shortly after the planes hit. They were the only fighter pilots on the scene for much of the morning, and watched the towers fall from above. We mixed the story with actual sound from the NORAD communications.
