In Memory of Betsy Martinez
Betsy Martinez was 33 years old and from New York, N.Y. Betsy worked as an accounts manager for Cantor Fitzgerald in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
On September 11, 2001, Betsy was somewhere between the 101st and 105th floors of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the northern facade of Tower. The aircraft, traveling at about 404 knots (465 mph; 748 km/h) and carrying about 10,000 U.S. gallons (38,000 L) of jet fuel, hit between the 93rd and 99th floors.
The damage caused to the North Tower destroyed any means of escape at the impact zone or above it. All stairwells and elevators from the 92nd floor up were rendered impassable, trapping 1,344 people.
