I have read this in the newsv this morning:

"Among the dead were Beverly Eckert, widow of a September 11 attack victim, and Susan Wehle, a cantor at Temple Beth Am in Williamsville, outside Buffalo.
Also aboard was Alison Des Forges, senior Africa adviser for Human Rights Watch. Des Forges spent four years in Rwanda documenting the 1994 genocide and had testified about the atrocity and the current situation in central Africa to Congress and the United Nations.

Beverly Eckert
Eckert was the widow of September 11 victim Sean Rooney, who died in the World Trade Center.
After the 2001 terrorist attacks, Eckert co-founded Voices of September 11, an advocacy group for survivors and September 11 families. She had a reputation as a strong campaigner of September 11 families. She was involved in protests leading to more land for a ground zero memorial, working on the September 11 Commission's Family Steering Committee and pushing for a victims' families compensation fund.

Incredible...
