I knew both were FReepers....I’d seen their posts. It was so shocking to hear their names. I first saw a picture of BCM and knew right away who it was, before any names were attached to those missing.
For days we huddled around a little tv at work. More than a few lost interest...I could not not watch and listen as I worked.
Lot of concern after all planes were grounded. Had to have been an issue for you, too.
I cried for days...just posting pictures, and reading accounts tonight has been tough.
Thanks Connie...I had no idea when I put that together back in 2003 in IRaq for the second anniv. it would still be in use today. I guess I did a good job huh! :)
And thanks kathy for covering for my lack of advanced posting skills on FR.
11 years later and nothing makes today any better for me.
I still remember that day in Midland when this was happening. Not sleeping that night.
Driving by the charter school and seeig the sheriffs deputy car parked in front of the school
The buildings in downtown being COMPLETELY dark that night
“84th Floor west office 12 people trapped.”
The words were scrawled on a note by Connecticut resident Randy Scott on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked. Scott perished that fateful day, but the note withstood the collapse of the towers and was passed from hand to hand for nearly ten years before it finally reached his family, according to the Stamford Advocate.
Scott’s wife, Denise, learned about what her family refers to as “The Note” in August 2011. She had previously believed her husband died instantly after Flight 175 flew into the tower near the offices of Euro Brokers, where he worked. The scrap of paper has robbed the family of any illusion Randy Scott died a quick and merciful death.
“I spent 10 years hoping that Randy wasn’t trapped in that building,” Denise, 57, said to the newspaper from her Stamford home, with two of her three daughters, Rebecca, 29, and Alexandra, 22, at her side. “You don’t want them to suffer. They’re trapped in a burning building. It’s just an unspeakable horror. And then you get this10 years later. It just changes everything.”
The Note not only has the final words written by Scott, it also has a trace amount of his blood, according to the Advocate. DNA testing confirmed a match and helped the New York City Medical Examiner’s office track down his family, the paper reported.
