Beverly Eckert: Whistleblower of Operation 911 Dies in Plane Crash

Beverly Eckert, founder of Voices of September 11th, has been killed in a (small commuter) plane crash. Mrs. Eckert lost her husband on September 11th 2001. He was killed while working at the World Trade Center. And though former White House Resident, George W. Bush, maintains that the buildings were brought down by jet fuel loaded airplanes, many disagree, saying instead that pre-planted explosives were involved; suggesting a cover-up of the facts, indicating that top government officials were complicit in the heinous, domestic assault.

In 2003, for a piece published by USA Today, Beverly wrote:

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.

I am suing because unlike other investigative avenues, including congressional hearings and the 9/11 commission, my lawsuit requires all testimony be given under oath and fully uses powers to compel evidence.

The victims fund was not created in a spirit of compassion. Rather, it was a tacit acknowledgement by Congress that it tampered with our civil justice system in an unprecedented way. Lawmakers capped the liability of the airlines at the behest of lobbyists who descended on Washington while the Sept. 11 fires still smoldered. Read More.
