Wendy Burlingame, Daughter of Flight 77 Pilot, Dead From Fire
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/06/nyregion/06fire.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

Five years after her father’s plane crashed into the Pentagon in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a woman was found dead yesterday in a fire at the Galaxy Towers apartment complex in Guttenberg, N.J.

The woman, Wendy Burlingame, 32, was discovered by firefighters in a short hallway between the kitchen and the bedroom of her 10th-floor apartment where the four-alarm fire began, said Edward DeFazio, the Hudson County prosecutor. Mr. DeFazio said the fire, which law enforcement officials are calling suspicious, began shortly after midnight in the apartment Ms. Burlingame shared with her companion and was still under investigation, as was the cause of Ms. Burlingame’s death. No one else was injured in the fire, Mr. DeFazio said.

Her live-in boyfriend, whose name was not released by authorities, was also in the apartment when the fire started shortly before midnight Monday, investigators said.

According to investigators, the boyfriend told them that he and Burlingame had tried to extinguish the fire with water from a sink. When tried to flee, the boyfriend made it into the hallway, but accidentally shut and locked the front door before realizing that Burlingame was not right behind him. He wasn't able to get back in.

As firefighters rushed into the 44-story building to put out the blaze, the building resident assigned as fire warden for the night found the boyfriend outside the apartment door, visibly shaken, and led him to safety.

Firefighters found Burlingame's body in a hallway between the kitchen and a bedroom. Her two dogs, a 4-year-old pit bull and a pit bull puppy, also died.


Terrible story.

1. You've got to wonder what she was going to say...
... that the Repugs would want to shut her up permenantly.

2. You made a similarly ridiculous assertion about Steve Favela.
Ridiculous = baseless, not supported by facts, pure speculation, sinister insinuation.

3. Do you know why boyfriend escaped, but Wendy didn't?
And do you now what her boyfriend used to be in?

4. Why would Repugs want her dead?
Isn't it more reasonable to suspect Dylan Averybots than to suspect the US Gov?

5. It's common courtesy to not side-step questions
answer mine first, then I'll answer yours afterward.

6. Your replies are red herrings to the insinuation
that the Repugs killed Wendy Burlingame and Steve Favela because it was in their interest to do so.

9. Goddam. The answers are "yes" and "yes".
Now, isn't it more reasonable to suspect Dylan Averybots than to suspect the US Gov?

19. Why not?
Her testimony was/is a threat to the Loosers.
It's clear that fame and money are the Looser's real agenda.
Inside Job Cultists have been exploiting her death.
Did you know Avery used to be in the military?
Can you prove he doesn't know W.B.'s boyfriend?

If you think the Gov would kill W.B. for supporting the OCT, why don't you think the scum Bermas and Avery are next?

12. No I did not...
... I don't even know who Steven Favala is, so I certainly could not have stated anything about him. Please link to where I said anything about Steven Favala.

17. You're right...
... I forgot the name of the officer. I stand corrected.

That being so, so what? I wonder what they both knew and might have been about to say that they suddenly died mysterious deaths?

7. You're kidding, right?
Edited on Mon Dec-11-06 03:23 AM by G Hawes
Seriously. You're kidding, right?

Edit to add that the subject matter is not funny in the least, but your post can only have been a joke, tasteless as it was, right?

16. I know what she said at the Loose Change forums.
She laid into them over there for dragging her father's good name into the mud. So the Republicans have a problem with Wendy defending the official story? That insinuation seems confusing, beth. You need to work on it.
