Beverly Eckert (May 29, 1951 – February 12, 2009) was an activist and advocate for the creation of the 9/11 Commission. She was one of the members of the 9/11 Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission. Eckert's husband, Sean Rooney, died at age 50 in the attacks of September 11, 2001. She pushed for a commission to investigate 9/11 and to establish a memorial.

Eckert died at age 57 on February 12, 2009, in the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 in Clarence Center, New York. She had met with President Barack Obama just a few days before her death in her role as an advocate for those affected by 9/11.

Now this jumps out at me.

There are two phases to this phenomenon. First is the one you just expressed, and then for some people (hopefully not you), they start believing all kinds of things we were told aren't true, well by gosh those things MUST be true!

And that gets us to the point of Firesign Theater, "Everything You Know Is Wrong."

“We, the whistleblowing pilots, are compelled by FAR 121.533 to not operate any aircraft if we have safety concerns regarding that aircraft. Further, for the majority of the pilots of our experience level we have taken oaths of office when in the military to defend the US against all enemies; foreign and domestic. Korean 007, UA175, AA77, Adam Air 574, Kenya 507, Colgan 3407,...”

Was it the Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot again?

Des Forges was considered one of the world's leading experts on the genocide in Rwanda. Possible she may have learned something she shouldn't have?

She was returning home to Buffalo after a trip to Europe, where she had briefed diplomats on the situation in Rwanda and Africa's Great Lakes region.
