Thank you Marathon Man for sharing your very moving and sad personal experience. I can understand how you were led to FT. My 32 year old cousin was a victim in one of the Towers and left behind a wife and 3 very young children as well as his parents. While looking for answers, any answers to this tragedy which affected thousands of people, I happened to literally stumble upon a news item about this website; Flyertalk. At the time, for me, it was about people connecting with one another in the wake of this tragedy.
I joined FT 10 years ago in October, 2001. I hope that the victims feel some sense that justice has been served and draw some comfort from this.
