Woman who issued tickets to Atta & co killed herself?
I just read on another board that the woman who issued plane tickets to Mohammad Atta and his associates committed suicide, and they learned of this from Oprah.

I hadn't heard anything about this... but I'm telling you, I'm reinforcing my tinfoil hat as I type.

1. freaky story
my sis-in-law is a flight attendant on American LA to Boston, and had Atta and another hijacker on her flight a month before 9-11. They claimed they were student pilots and were very insistent on viewing the cockpit (it didn't happen).

She knew all the crew on Flight 11, and several of the passengers.

5. Was that the flight (actor) James Woods was talking about?
where he supposedly saw the hijackers scoping out the situation... It was an LA to Boston flight, I know.

8. She didn't mention him
but she did say she remembered the incident immediately when she saw Atta's photo on television.

2. I also heard this on Oprah
I think it was her Tuesday show. Strange it wasn't on the cable news networks. :tinfoilhat:

All kidding aside this woman probably dealt with quite a bit of guilt. I don't totally disregard yadayadaydayda but I'm sure she suffered with guilt, you never know in the new Bush America.

Isn't it funny that the govt doesn't seem to feel guilty at all? After all Condi did say they didn't imagine planes flying into buildings. I bet Condi and idiot son sleep like babies at night.

6. I am one who internalizes and suffers the pangs of guilt/regret...
And, yes, for the life of me, I can't imagine how Rice, blathering idiot, Cheney, Rumsfeld sleep at night.
