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.
Actress and photographer Berry Berenson, former wife of Anthony Perkins, was killed on one of the flights. She died on the 9th anniversary of her husband's death. Ted Hennessey Jr., 35, of Belmont, Mass. was killed on Flight 11. He was traveling to Los Angeles for some consultant work for Time Warner. He leaves a wife of ten years and two children, aged 3 and 6. Edmund Glazer, chief financial officer and vice president of finance for MRV Communications Inc, was also on Flight 11. He leaves a wife and 4 year-old son. Thomas McGuinness, a former Navy fighter pilot, was one of the pilots on Flight 11. He leaves a wife and two teenage children. Georgetown professor Leslie A. Whittington, her husband Charles S. Falkenberg and their children Zoe (a name which means "life" in Greek, I'm told), 8 and Dana, 3 were travelling to Australia for a "family adventure". Michelle Heidenberger, a flight attendant for 30 years, was killed on the flight that crashed into the Pentagon. She leaves a daughter who is a college junior and a younger son, as well as a husband. Fred Rimmele, a Boston-area physician described as an "old-style family doctor," died on Flight 175 while traveling to a conference in Los Angeles. Tara Creamer, 30, a business planner at TJX Cos. Inc was on one of the flights that crashed into the WTC. She leaves a husband and two children, ages 4 and 1.
