TWO glaring omissions!

2002: Academy Award winning actress KIM HUNTER died on the first anniversary of 9/11.

2003: TV sitcom actor JOHN RITTER died on the second anniversary of 9/11.

Wasn't BERRY BERENSON, some sort of fashion designer and sister of "Barry Lyndon" actress Merissa Berenson, on one of the 9/11 aeroplanes?

Of course, FATHER MYCHAL JUDGE, the FDNY chaplain was confirmed 9/11 casualty #1, died on 9/11.

(On a personal note, my place of employment on 9/11 was situated diagonally across the street from the FDNY station on West 31st Street where Fr. Judge was seconded. I saw his fire engines go out that day).

Hall of Fame QB Johnny Unitas also died on the first anniversary on 9/11. He died of a heart attack while working out.

Also, Barbara Olson, conservative commentator and wife of US Solicitor General Ted Olson, was killed in the plane that was flown into the Pentagon. She was flying to California to appear on an episode of Politically Incorrect.

IIRC, the first fresh post-9/11 edition of Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" only had three panelist with the fourth chair left vacant with a photo of Barbara Olsen.

Say what you want about what a polemicist Maher is, but this was one class act.

It was a class act by Maher. I vehemently disagree with him on many issues, but I am often surprised to agree with him on certain issues.
