When I was in college I used to work at events with Seattle Police Chief Fitzsimons. This was his brother, who could be seen in the 9/11 movie aired on CBS.

Confirmed dead, World Trade Center, at/in building

I also later learned that a girl I met from NYC was in 2WTC that morning. She was scheduled to attend a meeting on the top floor that morning, but took some phone calls from overseas. Her cubicle mate went up the elevator and was lost in the attack, but the girl I knew made it out quickly when the first alarms went off.

When the attacks first happened, I received a call from a former girlfriend in SF, who kind of hinted that the US somehow deserved it....I was kind of mortified to know someone who would even think that way...

I will never forget.

My wifes 20 year old cousin was on AA Flight 11 (Candace Williams - and as a side note, they're all direct descendants of Roger Williams).

I remember when she was a kid - nice girl, was going out to do some work with Special Olympics.
