9/11 widow dies in NY plane crash
Friday, 13 February 2009

Beverly Eckert lobbied Congress to reform US intelligence operations
A widow of the 9/11 terror attacks was among those killed in the New York state plane crash, relatives have said.

Beverly Eckert was flying to Buffalo to celebrate what would have been her husband Sean Rooney's 58th birthday when Continental flight 3407 came down.


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7889106.stm

Her sister, Sue Bourque, told the Buffalo News: "We know she was on that plane, and now she's with him."

President Barack Obama said Mrs Eckert, who he met recently, was an inspiration to him "and to so many others".

She was among 50 people killed when the flight from Newark to Buffalo Niagara International Airport crashed at 2210 local time on Thursday in Clarence Center, only minutes from its destination.

Mrs Eckert became one of the most visible faces of the nation's grief when she tearfully told how her husband, a childhood sweetheart who worked on the 98th floor of the World Trade Center's south tower, had called to say he loved her moments before his death.

She then joined other relatives of 9/11 victims in lobbying Congress over legislation reforming US intelligence, which eventually passed in 2004.

As joint chairman of the Voices of September 11, a group which pushed for further investigation of the attacks, and as a member of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission, she became a high-profile campaigner for better protection of US citizens.
In a 2003 opinion piece for the newspaper USA Today, she wrote: "My husband's life was priceless. My silence cannot be bought."..........

I remember the old days when the CIA used to assassinate their political enemies in car crashes.

What Could Have Caused The Crash?
Friday February 13, 2009
CityNews.ca Staff
It's the number one question being asked on both sides of the border: what could have caused a Toronto-made jet to suddenly plunge from the sky and onto a house in a Buffalo suburb, killing 50 people.
It was about 10:20pm Thursday when a huge explosion was heard in a quiet Clarence, New York neighbourhood. Continental Airlines Flight #3407 was about 15 kilometres from landing on a runway at Buffalo Niagara Airport.
It never made it.
Witnesses say the plane appears to have simply fallen out of the sky, with no warning to the tower that there was anything wrong at all....

9/11 Activist Who Sued Government Killed In Buffalo Plane Crash

featured-stories - 9/11 Activist Who Sued Government Killed In Buffalo Plane Crash


Beverly Eckert, whose husband, Sean Rooney was killed in the attack on the World Trade Center, became co-chairperson of the group Voices of September 11th.



One of the passengers aboard the plane that crashed into a house 10 miles from Buffalo, New York, airport late on Thursday was a 9/11 widow who had questioned the official account of the attacks, sued the government and consistently lobbied for an Investigative Commission.

Beverly Eckert was flying to the city for a celebration of what would have been her husband Sean Rooney’s 58th birthday, reports the Press Association. Mr Rooney died on the 98th floor of the World Trade Center’s south tower.

She was among the 44 passengers and four crew on board the Continental Connection flight operated by Colgan Air when it crashed in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence Center.

After 9/11, Ms Eckert refused to accept a cash settlement as compensation and instead sued the government.

“I am suing because unlike other investigative avenues… my lawsuit requires all testimony be given under oath and fully uses powers to compel evidence.” Eckert wrote in December 2003 in a statement entitled My Silence Cannot Be Bought.

“The victims’ fund was not created in a spirit of compassion.… Lawmakers capped the liability of the airlines at the behest of lobbyists who descended on Washington while the September 11 fires still smoldered.” she wrote.

Other September 11 relatives who accepted settlements forfeited their right to sue the airlines, airports, security companies, or other US organizations that could have been faulted for negligence and inadequate security measures. This ensured that very little detail of the attacks emerged outside of the government appointed 9/11 Commission.



In the same statement Ms Eckert also wrote:

“I want to know what went so wrong with our intelligence and security systems that a band of religious fanatics was able to turn four U.S. passenger jets into an enemy force, attack our cities and kill 3,000 civilians with terrifying ease. I want to know why two 110-story skyscrapers collapsed in less than two hours and why escape and rescue options were so limited.”

As a co-founder of the steering committee group “Voices For Sept. 11” Ms Eckert joined other activists in pushing for an Investigative Commission.

Only because of the consistent efforts of the relatives groups were the deaths of more than 2800 Americans ever formally investigated by a government who would have rather kept the truth about 9/11 buried.

In 2004 the Ms Eckert also successfully lobbied Congress to pass a sweeping reform of the U.S. intelligence system.

Last week, Ms Eckert was at the White House to talk with President Barack Obama about how the new administration could deal with terror suspects.

According to reports, the Colgan Air flight was on final approach to Buffalo airport, 5 miles from the runway, when the control tower lost all contact. Weather was reported as light snow and fog and a 17 MPH wind. There was no radio message indicating a problem, so whatever happened happened in an instant. Only one house on the ground was destroyed, so the aircraft was on a nearly vertical path when it hit.

So now everyone has the message in their heads that planes can be brought down by any kind of natural occurence - birds, ice etc. Well, they made them believe steel skyscrapers could be brought down into their own footprint by fire, so why not? Simultaneously, any widows/widowers of 9/11 questioning the official account are getting the message that they better stay silent or they may be silenced forever.

[outsider]

BBC Radio News, Sun, Times Online, and I'm sure a host of others (I'm off to work, so can't check US newspapers) with no mention of Beverley's sueing the US Govt.
I put this post on Times 'Comments', but don't expect to see it up:
'Why is there no mention in this article that Beverley Eckert sued the US Government to try to get to truth of the 9/11 attack (see 'My Silence Cannot Be Bought' USA Today). Check this out, and the 'Voices of September 11th' organisation mentioned in Times article.'

(I've just checked 'Voices' site, and no mention of crash yet!!)

There needs to be objectivity surrounding this incident as the Q400 (DeHavilland) is a reliable aircraft, but like everything it has its faults. For those who are interested in delving further both pilots and boffins in aviation have posted their views on the Q400 at the airliners.net forum:-
http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/43 17255/1/

In my perspective (as an aviation & flight sim enthusiast) I would say that it was highly suspicious that an aircraft which was in clear comms with the tower was unable to declare a May Day in time before the collision. If it was severe ice on the wings then a stall would not prevent comms.

Good link to live ATC BTW.

Serious Health Warning!

Questioning 9/11 (and other State engineered False Flag Ops)

can seriously damage your health!

[Marigold]

[scienceplease]

There is absolutely no questioning in the mainstream media about this being anything other than an accident. You can spot a true accident because there is no certainty in the pronouncements. Take the NY bird strike and water crash landing incident - this strikes me as a likely legitimate accident just by the way the event was handled!

[scienceplease]

This animation apparently taken from the black box data shows extremely violent pitching and rolling, then a near vertical fall!? Surely there must be something on the voice record in response to this.

There is absolutely no questioning in the MSM!!!! And we should expect some, already, given their record?

Search 'JFK Junior' + assassination' + video; von vonders vie there's no questions, already?

Vell, perhaps not.

[scienceplease]

Indeed, the JFK Jr air crash is also rather suspect. Unfortunately the video I saw rather than just rising the questions about the accident then tried to implicit GWB. I'm afraid that was a step too far for a first pass. Just like exposing 9/11 truth, the first thing to do is get the facts exposed - then you could try to point fingers.

I'm sorry that pointing out the obvious makes you gaffaw so much.

Beverly Eckert was a 9/11 widow whose husband Sean Rooney, had died in the Towers. She had continued to demand a better investigation into the 9/11 attacks. She did not take the "compensation" that covered for the companies involved. On February 12, 2009, a week after she had met with the newly-elected President Barack Obama (Freemason, CIA Operative, Husband-of-a-CFR-member), she died in a fiery plane crash aboard Flight 3407. The odds of dying on a single plane trip are 52.6 million to one. The official explanation for the crash was that ice had caused it. However, the airplane had powerful de-icing systems and no other planes in the area had problems with the ice.

If you are like me, you believe that the Illuminati believe in numerology/symbolism and give 'signals' that an event is their doing, many times through numbers and significant dates. The day after the airplane crash was Friday the 13th (Very occult date) and it was the 44th day of the year (Obama is the 44th President). It also left 322 days to the end of the year -- 322 is the number of the very nefarious elite secret society known as the Order of Skull & Bones. Whether any of this is significant or not, we may never know.

Eckert was not the only unusual passenger on the airplane. There was others that certain people may have wanted dead. There were four employees of Northrop Grumman, a huge defense contractor, aboard the plane. There was also an Israeli security guard and a veteran of the notorious South Lebanese Army (SLA) on board. There was also a Human Rights Watch (HRW) genocide expert on the plane. Also on board was a bottled water 'consultant' who worked with the military in Iraq and a mysterious 'consultant' from Mumbai, as well as the heads of some New York firms.

There is also the issue of a missing name on the passenger list. Out of all 50 passengers, 49 were identified. The identity of one was hidden "out of respect". Could the 'missing name' been the name of a manchurian candidate on board the plane who caused it to crash? It now appears that JFK Jr. was killed by a manchurian candidate 'flight instructor' on his plane whose body was subsequently removed from the scene -- his existence was then denied.

Also, why are the crash records on this plane being maintained by what the media described only as a "private entity"? Which private entity is this? Is the name of this group being withheld because of obvious military-intelligence connections?



The airplane crashed into a house occupied by the Wielinskie family. The father was a veteran of the Vietnam War (Meaning he had a military background) who had ties to the Tim Russert Foundation. He was killed when the crash occurred, but bizarrely, the mother and daughter survived with only 'minor injuries', despite the fact that the entire house was an inferno.

Furthermore, the family had lived in a house that was worth triple the value of the house that got destroyed. Why did they move from such a luxurious house to such a small house? Also, isn't it suspicious that all of the houses near it were unoccupied? The closest occupied house was 5 lots away from the crashed house.

Another bizarre fact is that the FBI was at the crash scene. Why were they there? In accident investigations, only the NTSB investigates. The following is from the book "The Yankee and Cowboy War" by Carl Oglesby:

Interesting post DarkTruth.

IMO, you will add credibility to your posts, with more references to sources. I followed the aftermath of the crash on a US airline pilots message board, which was really about weather conditions, this model of place and the icing up. Now I don't know how many spooks post there, but the information seemed very contradictory. I for one still have an open mind.

Anyway, good to see someone won't let it go unquestioned!

[scienceplease 2]

A friend of Beverly Eckert can be found in Richard Gage's one of the reports from the AIA conference.

http://www.911blogger.com/node/20010

This woman is an Architect, a friend of Beverly Eckert (and her husband) and she did not know about WTC7!!!

The moral of the story is, people still have not heard one of the main arguments for 9/11 being an Inside Job.

With this level of missing info, dis-info and cover-up, it would be relatively easy to arrange for a plane to crash... (Darn sight harder for it to crash ontop of a particular house!)

@ Dark Truth:
'There is also the issue of a missing name on the passenger list. Out of all 50 passengers, 49 were identified. The identity of one was hidden "out of respect".

I disagree thet 'it now appears that JFK Jr. was killed by a Manchurian Candidate'; that was the conclusion of the presenter of the very good video (I put it up), but I believe he was mistaken. It's much easier to use radio- controlled 'control-overides' (as I suspect where used in Diana's car, in conjunction with harassment and temporarily 'blinding' the driver, Henri Paul, with a light device manufactured for that purpose) than to use a Manchurian Candidate. They want certainty; they got their desired result.

They can, and probably will, before they finish, kill us till the cows come home; but they won't silence many who have lost dear relatives by such means. I can't see the Jersey Girls or Bob McIlvane retreating into silence, no matter how many those SOB's kill, any more than they will silence most of the 'USS Liberty's' crew, in their demands for a proper inquiry.

You know where I live, worshippers of Yah-Bul-On. If not, ask TGAOTU.

Hilda Yolanda Mayol - another 9/11 survivor killed - she died in Flight 587 that crashed in Queens - so what brought that down?
