They were on the plane: Two NG staff members, three DC teachers and three 11-year-old 6th-grade students they were traveling with, going to California.

The producers of Fraiser were on one of the planes that crashed into the WTC.

It was just one of the producers, David Angell. The local channels here in L.A. remind us about Angell and his wife all the time with a “crawl” at the bottom of the screen (along with other local victims). Also killed were two scouts for the L.A. Kings hockey team and the women’s volleyball coach for U.C. Santa Barbara. She took that job even though UCSB is going to phase out volleyball next year.

BTW: I **do** know how to spell “national”.
