In February, the day of the Columbia tragedy, we got word they'd found her United Airlines Mileage Plus card. It was found very near where they'd found a piece of her right hip. We imagine that she used the card early on the morning of Sept. 11 to get on the plane and just stuck it in her back pocket, probably her right back pocket, instead of in her purse. They have found no other personal effects.
We got the card in the mail, FedEx'd from the New York City Police Department property room. We can't open it yet. It just sits in our home, in a cabinet, until we can look inside. We might never.
But searchers also gathered surprisingly intact mementos of lives lost.
Those items, such as a wedding ring and other jewelry, photos, credit cards, purses and their contents, shoes, a wallet and currency, are among seven boxes of identified personal effects salvaged from the site. They sit in an El Segundo, Calif., mortuary and will be returned to victims' families in February.
"We have some property for most passengers," said Craig Hendrix, a funeral coordinator and a personal effects administrator with Douglass Air Disaster Funeral Coordinators, a company often contacted by airlines after devastating crashes.
Hendrix said United Airlines' insurance underwriter hired Douglass on Sept. 12 to handle not only funeral arrangements for the victims but also the return of personal effects.

BTW why would Atta even have a passport on that plane ... passports aren't needed for domestic flights ...
and why wasn't any of the 19 hijackers on any of the official flight passenger lists released on 9/11 ??

I hope this image shows right.....it was on an earlier link. It's the first time I've seen this image.
Does this image help at all - surely it wouldn't be that difficult for someone with the right equipment to work out what the plane / missile is? Is it the right proportion / height for a 757 for instance? It looks 1 to 1.5 storeys high.

I can tell you with 100% certainty what the gas station video showed. . . .
The Gas Pumps!.
Have any of you ever watched one of those “real police video” shows when they show the robbers in the store videos?
Once again, why would anyone expect to see anything from a gas station security video is beyond me.
