On September 11, 2001, Peter Hanson was traveling with his wife, Sue Kim Hanson, and their 2 year old daughter, Christine Lee Hanson, who had never flown on a plane before. The Hanson family were passengers on United Airlines Flight 175, where they were seated in Row 19, in seats C, D, and E.
At 9:00 am Peter Hanson made a phone call to his father:
"It's getting bad, Dad. A stewardess was stabbed. They seem to have knives and Mace. They said they have a bomb. It's getting very bad on the plane. The plane is making jerky movements. I don't think the pilot is flying the plane. I think we are going down. I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building. Don't worry, Dad. If it happens, it'll be very fast....Oh my God... oh my God, oh my God."
At 9:03 am Flight 175 crashed into the southern facade of South Tower of the World Trade Center.
Christine Lee at two and a half was the youngest victim on 9/11, and she died in her parent's arms.
so sad... this family will be in my prayers!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so tragic. I cannot think what little baby Hansons parents were thinking knowing how bad it was, knowing what it the worst and keeping their baby calm. The only solace is knowing they all died in each others arms. god bless the Hanson family.
ReplyDeleteWhat is there to say , that has not already been said ! This was a act a crime of people that was so sick so full of demons ,thinking they were led by God so wrong so very wrong ! This sweet innocent family with a child died by the hands of theses evil people know nothing but hate and murder.My prayers go out to the Families of the Hansons that they are the ones sitting at the right handside of God !!! God Bless
ReplyDeleteAs a NYer through and through, I will never forget those lost on 9/11, nor what the US continues to be proud of - our freedom. The victims of 9/11 will never be forgotten. Each one gives us a great many reasons for defending all that we stand for. I pray for the Hanson family in Heaven and for their family and friends here on Earth. May their memories burn brightly forever. - SJR in Raleigh NC, formerly of NYC, NY.
