Twenty-One Years

Christine Lee Hansen was 2 1/2. She was going to Disney with her parents when their plane, United Airlines Flight 175, was hijacked by Muslim extremists and flown into the Trade Center in New York City. She was the youngest person to die on 9/11. Her father was holding her on his lap as the impact occurred. We know this because he was on the phone with his dad as it happened.

 

It was twenty-one years ago today.

UPDATE 11 SEPTEMBER 2022 14:06 [Borepatch]:  (This is Borepatch now)  ASM826 has posted about Miss Hansen for as long as I can remember, first on his blog and now here.  It's a fitting tribute.  I'm butting in with a song that I think captures the mood.

Rest in peace and rise in Glory, Christine.
