9/11 Widow Killed in Buffalo Plane Crash
WASHINGTON (Fox News) — Beverly Eckert of Stamford, Conn., one of the victims of Continental Flight 3407, was a Sept. 11 widow who put her never-ending grief to good use to make the country safer.
Just last week, Eckert was at the White House with Barack Obama, part of a meeting the president had with relatives of those killed in the 2001 attacks and the bombing of the USS Cole to discuss how the new administration would handle terror suspects.
"She was such an important part of all of our work," said Mary Fetchet, another 9/11 family activist. She learned Eckert was aboard the plane from another close Eckert family friend now headed to Buffalo. Officials investigating the crash have not yet confirmed she was on board the plane.
Eckert was one of the most visible, tearful faces in the aftermath of the terror attacks.
