9/11 Widow Killed in Continental Airlines Commuter Plane Crash in Buffalo

Sept. 11 widow Beverly Eckert, who lost her high-school sweetheart husband in the World Trade Center, was among those killed in Buffalo, N.Y., plane crash.

Beverly Eckert of Stamford, Conn., whose husband Sean Rooney died in the 2001 attacks, was one of the 50 victims of the Continental Flight 3407 accident.

Her sister Sue Bourque was at the airport awaiting official confirmation that Eckert had been on board. Officials investigating the crash have not yet confirmed Eckert was among the 44 passengers killed Thursday night.

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