They say that you really see the good in people during trying times. During the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) shut down the national airspace so no ordinary civilian or commercial flights were allowed to fly, only military, police, firefighting and medical transport flights. Among those was one that got clearance thanks to a healthcare worker, who helped save a baby's life. Jill Grandas was able to defy the national ground stop and get a plane in the air to deliver a liver to a 6-month-old, Kareena, who had been dying of liver failure at the time. Now, 25 years later, Grandas and Kareena finally met in person for the first time. Were you aware of this inspiring story?

A newborn died overnight September 10, and the family made the difficult decision to donate [their] organs. Only the liver was usable. But in the early morning of September 11, a match was located in Houston. And that six-month old was in desperate shape with a failing liver. A somber surgery was nearly complete at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital to retrieve the organ for the quick trip to Houston when chaos took over the nation. Jill Grandas, who still leads Tennessee Donor Services which coordinates transplants in the region knew she had no choice but to fight for this child. The liver was supposed to be placed in a cooler and hitch a ride on a charter plane so it could be transplanted within hours — for the sake of the child who was dying and to preserve function of the donated liver. So Grandas said her only thought was to call air traffic control. To her surprise, someone picked up at the Nashville International Airport. Eventually she talked to a supervisor who made her own calls. Tennessee Senator Bill Frist — a transplant surgeon before entering politics — intervened. On the other end, Dr. John Goss was awaiting the precious cargo at Texas Children's Hospital. With no commercial traffic in the sky and fighter jets protecting the borders and urban centers, the Tennessee Air Guard was cleared to fly. They revved up a C-130 cargo plane — big enough to transport a tank or a presidential limousine — to airlift a 10 oz. liver to Houston. They dropped the liver in Houston without shutting down the engines. The transplant went smoothly, and baby Kareena is now 25 years old and met her hero for the very first time. Do you remember what happened 25 years ago on that horrible day?
