Beverly Eckert – 9/11 Widow Dies in Buffalo Plane Crash Aboard Flight 3407
February 13th, 2009
Beverly Eckert lost her husband Sean Rooney to the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre. As a 9/11 widow, Beverly Eckert became a co-chairwoman of “Voices of September 11″ an organization that pushed for investigation of 9/11 and proper memorial for all victims. In other words, she grabbed at the opportunity to leave her 9 – 5 job for something less stressful and more rewarding. Late last night, Beverly Eckert got on the Continental Airlines plane to fly to Buffalo to commemorate her deceased husband’s 58th birthday. She never made it. Flight 3407 crashed outside of Buffalo, everyone aboard died.
Investigation into what caused Flight 3407 to crash is ongoing. There were 47 people aboard the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 jet when it took tumble and crashed into a house. All 47 passengers died, one additional person was killed on the ground. Seven and a half years after her high school sweetheart’s death, Beverly Eckert is reunited with her husband Sean Rooney on the opposite shore of river Styx.
