    If anyone learns of someone we might all know who has been killed in this tragedy, please post it here.

    I just learned that Barbara Olsen who was a frequent guest on many of the cable news shows was in one of the hijacked planes flying back to Washington to see her husband on his birthday.

    Her husband is Solicitor General Ted Olsen-- one of those leading the impeachment hearing against Bill Clinton, I believe.

    Reportedly, Barbara Olsen talked with Ted by cell phone twice while on board and reported that numerous hijackers had knives and box-cutters.

    The hijackers herded the passengers to the back of the partially filled plane as they plummeted them towards their targets.

    TV Producer David Angell was on one of the doomed flights. Angell was one of the executive producers for "Fraiser" and had previously been a writer and producer on both "Wings" and "Cheers".

    Daniel Lewin, co-founder of Akamai Technologies, was also on board one of the planes.

    I mentioned it before, but two scouts for the LA Kings were on one plane including the director of pro scouting and a minor league scout/former player.
