Beverly Eckert
Surviving wife of 9-11-2001 victim, her statement appears below:
I’ve chosen to go to court rather than accept a payoff from the 9/11 victims compensation fund. Instead, 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. Still very much active in the movement to determine what really happened and hold those responsible accountable, she had apparently met with President Obama just last week.
