Israel Matzav

The Israeli hero of 9/11

I've talked about Daniel Lewin HY"D (May God Avenge his blood) before on this blog. Danny was certified to be 9/11's first victim. He was stabbed to death while trying to prevent the terrorists from hijacking American Airlines flight 11, while he was on his way from Boston to Los Angeles for a business meeting.

Somehow, I had not seen this video of Danny's brothers talking about him before. I'd like to share it with you.....

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Leah P).



For those who did not notice, the time on this post is exactly 13 years to the minute from the United Airlines Flight 175 hitting the south tower of the World Trade Center (the previous post coincided with the time that American Flight 11 hit).

And for those of you who did not click on the first link in this post, Danny's mom has been my children's pediatrician since 1991. I saw at least one old picture of her in the video.

May Danny's memory be blessed.
