In Memory of Suzanne Rose Kondratenko
Suzanne Rose Kondratenko was 27 years old and from Chicago, Illinois. (Born: Grosse Pointe, Michigan). Suzanne worked as a management consultant for Keane Consulting Group.
Suzanne had traveled from Chicago to New York for a meeting in Aon's offices on September 11, 2001. She was in a meeting with six Aon insurance executives on the 92nd floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
When the North Tower was hit by American Airlines Flight 11 at 8:46 am, no one in the meeting felt or heard anything in the windowless interior conference room until commotion and screaming outside interrupted their conversation. The group emerged to find people headed for the fire stairs. The air smelled like smoke. The south tower's ventilation system was sucking in smoky air from outside.
Suzanne and her colleagues had just 16½ minutes before United Airlines Flight 175 would tear through the 78th through 84th floors of their building.
According to survivors Suzanne Rose Kondratenko was last seen heading down the stairs from the 92nd floor of the South Tower.

ReplyDeleteRemember U Sue.
ReplyDeletesending you and your family prayers as I do every year.
ReplyDeleteI am a childhood friend of Dr. Kondratenko. My older sister, Colleen, used to babysit Tricia, Amy and sweet little Suzy circa 1977. When I heard of Suzy's tragic demise by a fellow Romeo resident, I was shaken and saddened for my best childhood friend at that time. I've not forgotten you.
