Title: Chilling 9/11 note reaches family 10 years later

â€œ84th Floor west office 12 people trapped.â€

The words were scrawled on a note by Connecticut resident Randy Scott on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked. Scott perished that fateful day, but the note withstood the collapse of the towers and was passed from hand to hand for nearly ten years before it finally reached his family, according to the Stamford Advocate.

Scottâ€™s wife, Denise, learned about what her family refers to as â€œThe Noteâ€ in August 2011. She had previously believed her husband died instantly after Flight 175 flew into the tower near the offices of Euro Brokers, where he worked. The scrap of paper has robbed the family of any illusion Randy Scott died a quick and merciful death.

"I spent 10 years hoping that Randy wasn't trapped in that building," Denise, 57, said to the newspaper from her Stamford home, with two of her three daughters, Rebecca, 29, and Alexandra, 22, at her side. "You don't want them to suffer. They're trapped in a burning building. It's just an unspeakable horror. And then you get this10 years later. It just changes everything.â€

The Note not only has the final words written by Scott, it also has a trace amount of his blood, according to the Advocate. DNA testing confirmed a match and helped the New York City Medical Examinerâ€™s office track down his family, the paper reported.

And may God give no peace to those responsible.

Post by: Boudicca on September 11, 2012, 05:20:23 PM: This is such a poignant footnote to an epic tragedy enacted on that fatal September morning. My heart hurts for this family, and for all the other families, whose loved ones were brutally slaughtered by those creatures who are certainly well acquainted with Hell by now. :bird:
My mind is simply staggered by how, a scant decade after the decimation of our fellow Americans and foreign friends on our soil, the Democrat platform excluded God AND rejected Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel. We only have one friend in the Middle East, and it sure as **** isn't Palestine, Saudi Arabia or Egypt. Even if we get rid of Obama in November, will we be able to revive our longstanding and important friendship with Israel, and England?
God comfort this grieving family, and all the others.
