NEW YORK WORLD TRADE CENTER MURDERS - SEPT. 11,2001
Egan, Christine: While visiting her brother in New York, Christine, 55, had accompanied him to work on the 105th floor in a World Trade Center Tower. She had been living in Winnipeg, Canada where she had recently been appointed epidemiologist and tuberculosis Coordinator at the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch. For the previous twenty years, she had  worked as a nurse in the Coral Harbour, Nunavut area. The Intuit greatly admired her as well as her nursing skills especially in regard to her intense interest in tuberculosis. Originally from England, Christine came to Canada in the 1960s. In 1999 she received her doctorate in Community Health Nursing from the University of Manitoba were she was also a faculty member. From a private note it was understood that while making their way down the tower that Christine did triage.

Flyzik, Carol. Carol, age 40, was from Plaistow, New Hampshire and a passenger aboard Flight 11. She had worked primarily in the emergency department of Hale Hospital in Haverhill, Massachusetts from 1985-1996 and was currently a supervisor of marketing support at Meditech, a company that makes computer equipment for medical facilities. Her position involved flying around the country demonstrating the equipment which she was headed to do on Flight 11.
   Music was an important part of Carol's life. She grew up singing in church and played the saxophone through high school. As 600 mourners attended her memorial service, a recording was played that was made more than 20 years earlier of her school jazz band wherein she played a sax solo titled, ironically, "I'm Gonna Fly Now". Many nurses from Hale Hospital wept during the service as Carol was recalled as a caring person and fun loving person. It was said that no one could forget her collection of hats and squirt guns.
   Carol is survived by her life partner, three children, and several family members.
   The Hale Professional Nurses Unit in conjunction with the Massachusetts Nurses Association and the Massachusetts Nurses Foundation has established a scholarship fund in Carol's memory. Checks can be made out to the Massachusetts Nurses Foundation. Please include Carol Flyzik's name in the bottom left of the check. Checks can be mailed to Massachusetts Nurses Foundation, 340 Turnpike St., Canton, Mass. 02021. [Ent. 10/01] (Reference: http://www.theunionleader.com/search.html?body=flyzik)
Bolourchi,Touri: Touri was a 69 year old retired nurse who was aboard Flight 175 that crashed into the South Tower of the Trade Center as she returned to California after visiting her daughter in Boston. She had studied nursing in England and lived in the United States since 1979. Ironically, Touri had been born in Iran and was of the Muslim faith. During her memorial service, her physician husband whom she met while a Head Nurse in Tehran, offered condolences to the families of other victims while the mosque Director prayed for understanding of differences between those of the faith and those who were otherwise described as Muslim terrorists.
