Honoring the Flight Crews That Died 23 Years Ago Today

Some years, this just sneaks up on me, and this is one of those years. It’s September 11, and that means today we honor those who were killed when hijackers brought down four airplanes in an act of terrorism that those of us who were alive that day will never forget. And while the tributes elsewhere will focus on all the people who were murdered, I will continue to keep a narrower focus.

As always, I continue the tradition Holly Hegeman started so many years ago… honoring those on-duty crewmembers who were murdered that day by printing their names.
