Flight 93 families: 'a measure of comfort'
PHILADELPHIA — The brother of a man who lost his life on the airliner that crashed in western Pennsylvania on September 11 says he'd always feared that he'd never know Osama bin Laden had died.
Gordon Felt says there's a sense of closure in the death of the man who masterminded the hijacking of Flight 93 and three other airliners in the devastating attacks nearly 10 years ago.
Felt, president of the Families of Flight 93, said he was always confident that bin Laden would someday die or be killed but feared he wouldn't know if it had happened. He says it is reassuring to know the military was able to kill the al-Qaida chief and recover his body.
Felt's brother, Edward, was one of 33 passengers killed when the hijacked flight crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
