Austin Public Library Blog: In Memory of Beverly Eckert


I listen to NPR's Morning Edition, most of the days of the week and yesterday was no exception. Usually, the program was broadcast for the first time on Friday, a story of the project of the body of the story, a massive oral history project in which the goal is to capture the stories of American lives. Body of history only breaks me most of the time; Total expected that after the hearing of the cover story on Friday has led to tears and I'm usually prepared, but yesterday I caught off-guard because 1. It was not on Thursday, Friday and 2.It was a heart wrenching story of Beverly Eckert, that her husband in one of the towers of the World Trade Center lost 09 11, 2001. I have my eyes out here ready for practical work that ROAR like Eckert of last call for phone speaks with her husband while trying to find the way to the towers and he himself finally resigned to his fate. It was really poignant and sad and outrageous and beautiful at the same time. Also was a reminder of the horrors of that day and how much changed lives.

Later history was played, he knew that Eckert himself was killed in a plane, flight Colgan Air 3407 crash, in February 2009. It had a special vocal advocate for the victims of 9/11 and the quest for truth and understanding of the tragedy.Instead of compensation for 9/11 Fund, prompted by public authorities and airline that considered a violation of important security that was not done to prevent companies or fast enough. She helped votes of 11 September, an organization dedicated to providing information and support to the families of 9/11, influencing policy 9/11 and terrorism in General and in memory of the victims of 9/11 and family members by their stories and the 9/11 family Steering Committee, a defunct organization that until an independent inquiry into the attacks of 9/11 called performance testing.
