A Most Worthy Cause
You see that new addition on the left? The one that says I remember Todd C. Weaver? Well, with the hat tip to A.J., here’s a wonderful idea – 2,996 blogs (well, roughly – a few have multiple tributes assigned) are going to pay tribute, on September 11, 2006, to the 2,996 fallen of that dreadful day when you saw the worst of our enemies and the best of ourselves.
I’m happy to participate, and the name I was given was assigned to me at random. I know a little about Mr. Weaver, but not nearly enough, and I intend to find out all I can between now and then. I consider it an honor to be able to contribute a tribute, and I intend to do my best to live up to his memory.

a veep at 30. The glasses in the link photo suggest a ‘humility over vanity’ nature.
If you can get enough info, give him a spot on Wikipedia. It’s a shame he’s not already there.

They were in the south tower, struck 16 minutes, 29 seconds after the first plane hit the north tower. Mr. Weaver’s company was on the 90th floor, the impact of flight 175 was upon floors 78-85.

His last fifteen minutes(before his building was struck)- he would have seen the people jumping from the North tower

Quite sad, isn’t it? Veep at 30, 90th floor of WTC – then this, of all things…
Very interesting fellow, though, I’m beginning to think – Todd, we’ll try to do you proud!…
His death is sad, in light of the fact that he had a chance to evacuate but didn’t. The jumpers in the north tower would have ended my day, but the south tower got an all clear and so the trading firms remained.
It puts a new light on Kristen breitweiser’s saga. The chain of events that led to her husband’s death had so many links, the complete failure at so many levels that led to her loss-from intelligence to the actual agencies in charge of evacuating the tower.
Her fixation on bush reading a children’s book as the seconds tick is her chosen way of venting about all the time her husband had, but never got to use. painful.
Pretty amazing isn’t it?
