Sister of pilot killed on 9/11 slams comparison between Capitol riot and 2001 terrorist attacks
Fox News
The sister of a pilot slain on Sept. 11, 2001, slammed the comparison between the 9/11 attacks and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in a Wall Street Journal column published Thursday.
"These two events are fundamentally different in nature, scope and consequences," Burlingame wrote. "Mentioning them in the same breath not only diminishes the horror of what happened on 9/11; it tells a false story to the generation of Americans who are too young to remember that day nearly 20 years ago." Burlingame recounted how her brother was murdered in the cockpit after a lengthy struggle for control of the plane, which jihadists ultimately flew into the Pentagon, killing all 189 people onboard.More Related News
