Samantha Martin Egan was 24 years old and from Jersey City, New Jersey. (Born: Brooklyn, New York).
Samantha was killed at the World Trade Center during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks while working at Cantor Fitzgerald on the 104th floor of the North Tower. She worked with her older sister, Lisa Erin Egan, 31.
According to The New York Times, their father, David, said he knew that the sisters were together after the plane hit.
Their father said: "They would have been seeking one another immediately. It would have been the first thing in their minds. 'Where is Samantha?' Lisa would have said. 'Where is Lisa?' Samantha would have thought. I know they are together."
The sisters share a memorial at Sea View Cemetery in Mount Sinai. A photograph of the pretty blond sisters, who were from Rocky Point, is displayed on their large headstone, and a poem by their father is written on a brass plaque.

I am James Egan, and this is a sad story. I do not know if somehow we are related, and I wish you the best within the loss of these two important souls.

DeleteI took my family to NY over the Christmas holidays (2018) and we visited the 9/11 memorial. Samantha’s name was the first name I saw. I took a picture and wanted to know her story. Such a tragedy. May her and her sister rest in eternal peace.
ReplyDeleteOn my first visit to New York I decided to visit the memorial and find someone to remember that I was drawn to. I was lead to Samantha. A beautiful lady cruelly taken from loved ones. I'll never forget the visit and send wishes to her family
ReplyDeleteYour memory lives through my daughter Samantha Martin Jackson. We will never forget 20years feel like yesterday.

I knew Lisa Egan in college. She was, of course, incredibly popular - a vivacious and intelligent young woman - but she still made the time to help those in need, and she helped me through some difficult times. I was working in the other tower at the time, on the 88th floor in the northeast corner -- so I may have been only a few hundred feet from her that morning and had no idea.
