RIP

The white dust was almost entirely from drywall that was in the collapsed buildings.

I remember very distinctly this woman's photo from that horrible day. With so many other horrifying images, the poor souls who jumped(I still have nightmares about that) there was something so ...sad and monstrous in the image of ‘’The Dust Woman’’. She seemed to optimize the dastardly and heinous affront that was 9/11.

Hard to believe it will be 14 years on Sept. 11th.

Lost three friends that day—two on Flight 93 and one, a NYC fireman.

both towers of the trade center crumbled and killed 2,753 people in the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.

Make that 2,754.

RIP

I remember an interview with this lady a few years back (maybe around the 10 year mark?) Her life was really turned upside down by what she went through - depression, drugs, etc.

She finally turns her life back around, and now this.

What a horrible, horrible story.

R.I.P.

True. They should all be added to the death toll.

I remember her from her 9/11 picture- covered in dust. Her picture almost defined that terrible day.

So sad to hear of her untimely passing- Stomach cancer, ughhhhh... and 42 is WAY too young.

Prayers for her to rest in peace in the comfort and care of our Lord. Prayers for her family for comfort too.
