With a brief background in the aviation industry, I guessed it must have been
one of those single propeller planes.

When I saw the hole in that building, on one of the TVs, I knew it couldn't have been.

Time to fast forward.........

My family ultimately found out my sister made it to her office about 25 minutes
before her starting time.




She was in the 1st building that got hit on the 97th floor.

After going in and out of the city for the next 36 hours we knew she didn't show up
at any of the hospitals.

I visited the site in December of that year and haven't been back since.

Susan G. Santo was her name. Her name is read out loud along with all of our
friends we lost that day every year at Ground Zero.

Please remember her little girl, her only child, who was just starting kindergarten that week,
who was one of about 1800 children who lost a parent that day.

And remember everyone's lives who were forever altered 8 years ago,
along with all the friends and loved ones who have ever had to deal with
losing one of their own to violent crime and acts of war just like on 9/11/2001,
and on the battlefields.

My deepest sympathy to you, and I echo your sentiments!
