my father lost friends in the 9/11 and nearly 3000 people died that day in fact the photo shows the moment United 175 hit the south tower and my father's friend Al Marchand lost his life along with who knows how many other poor souls. ...may they rest in peace

my dad is a retired 777 captain for United and that plane in the video is (or was) United 175 my dad's friend Al Marchand was on that plane... dad was out on a flight when all this happened and from 9am to 3am we had no idea where he was this was a very traumatic day for my family and for all of America
