Director
On September 11, 2001, Vaughn Allex was working the ticket counter at Dulles International Airport. When two men arrived late for their flight, he ran through all of the security measures of the time and let them board.

Vaughn came to StoryCorps to remember the guilt and shame he experienced following the attacks — and how he eventually found healing.
