Beverly Eckert – Wife of Sean Rooney, Aon Corporation, WTC South Tower, 98th floor. One of the twelve members of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission.
Article New York Post "Kin Fury Boils Over" 5/20/04: "Families of Sept. 11 victims are furious at what they call the failure of the 9/11 commission to investigate the disaster that cost more than 2,700 lives. "Today was a joke," widow Beverly Eckert said of yesterday's wrap-up of two days of hearings into how city officials responded to the World Trade Center attacks." Requires purchase
Article Government Executive 4/24/04: "I think they had sufficient information to disseminate warnings [and] I think a lot could have been done with the information they had by engaging as many people at all levels, including the American public, and I think that could have thwarted Sept. 11." http://www.govexec.com
Appendix to Justice for 9/11 Petition:"When we first envisioned this commission, we did not envision it made up of ex-senators and ex-Navy secretaries and all of this other stuff," says Beverly Eckert of the Family Steering Committee. "We thought it should be professors and writers, scholars and also people who are involved in the news, but not necessarily a part of it. These people [the commissioners] are all a part of it. In many ways the government is part of the problem." http://www.justicefor911.org
9/11 experiences: A widow's story
Beverly Eckert's husband Sean worked in the World Trade Centre. He died on 11 September. She, along with other victims' families, forced the formation of the 9/11 Commission.
My husband Sean kissed me goodbye at about 0600 on the morning of 11 September.
It was Sean. When I heard his voice, my heart leapt. I thought he was out of the building but he said he was on the 105th floor. He worked on the 98th floor. That was the moment I knew he was not coming home.
But he was in this frame of mind that he was going to get out. He said he had tried to escape from the roof but he had passed out in the stairwell from the smoke, which was now getting thicker.
At that point we began to say our goodbyes.

Plane crashes into suburban Buffalo-area home; 49 killed
According the Buffalo News newspaper, one of the crash victims, Beverly Eckert, was the widow of 9/11 terror attack victim Sean Rooney, a Buffalo native. Eckert was traveling to Buffalo for a weekend celebration of what would have been her husband's 58th birthday.
She also had planned to take part in presentation of a scholarship award at Canisius High School that she established in honor of her late husband, the newspaper reported.
Her sister, Sue Bourque, said that while the family had not yet received official confirmation of her sister's fate, the reality was settling in. "We know she was on that plane," Bourque told the newspaper, "and now she's with him."

Last night when I saw the breaking news I thought this is my worst nightmare since my hubby travels all the time. Since he flies internationally so much he's taking off/landing during the middle of the night. I always wake up and log onto Foxnews.....I can't imagine the horror of hearing such tragic news.
