A couple years ago an old boss of mine said that he lost his aunt on 9/11, she was on one of the planes that hit the WTC. Of course I did not ask any follow-up questions, but now I'm curious.
Clues:
-Boss was 41 when 9/11 happened. So maybe an aunt would be between 51 and 81? Not very helpful, I know.
-Not sure if boss is genetically related to aunt. Boss is very dark hispanic, but has a white man last name, Scott. His maternal grandmother was from Lebanon.
-Boss is from Yonkers, New York. He's never mentioned having relatives in Boston, but he does have family in Los Angeles. He's a huge Dodgers fan so this is how I know this. So maybe more likely his aunt is from California, and were in the Boston area for some reason.
The thing is, I've tried to go through the list of AA11 and UA175 passengers, but no one sticks out. I know he's not making this up, he was kind of upset when he mentioned his aunt, and has never mentioned her any other time
