It is now being reported on FoxNews that one of those on board was a widow from 9/11 and was on her way to give a speech at her former high school in honor of her husband where they were high school sweethearts.

This is so traggic and I am sure as the day progresses we will hear more of the personal stories of those killed in this horrible crash. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those left behind. May God Bless them and comfort them during this horrible time.
