Flight 93 - Personal Effects

I was looking through my house today as I was packing, getting ready to head back to Uni, when I came across a readers digest that, in the top left hand corner had "Flight 93 - What We Never Knew". It was a very good read (its an excerpt from Lyz Glick's book "Your Fathers Voice". If you don't know, her husband Jeremy was one of the passengers who helped bring the plane down in Shanksville.

Anyway, the third paragraph was interesting to me, and should prove interesting to anyone who thinks that personal effects cannot survive plane crashes (passports, clothing etc). Anyway, here is a clip for you to read:

Quote:

In it were colour photographs of everything found at the crash site that was not clearly linked to a particular person Jeremy's wedding ring didn't survive, but 70 other pieces of jewellery did, along with a bewlidering array of socks, hats, shoes and other items of clothing that somehow made it through the crash and the fire that followed. There were also such things as keys, books and dozens of snapshots of children. ...I came across a pair of black briefs, They were savagely torn and badly discoloured, but there was no doubt they were Jeremy's. ...Near the end, at the bottom of one page, was an American Express personal organizer, its cover burned away.

Bolding mine.
