Coincidently, I was on a plane to Edmonton that morning when it all went down, the pilots clearly knew what was happening and had to change altitudes. We landed in Edmonton knowing nothing, except there were firetrucks with lights flashing on the runway. They dropped us off with no comments at the far end of the airport and we had to walk across a field and through a makeshift whole in the chain link and barbwire fence. They at least had cabs waiting for us. We still had no idea. It was not until I arrived at the Mcdonald hotel when we saw the TV in the bar what took place.

Yep, the observation deck didn't open until 9:30, so there were no tourists up there at the time.
