Deborah Burlingame

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deborah ("Debra") Burlingame (born 1954) is the sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame III, the pilot of the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 that was deliberately crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 by Al Qaeda terrorists. Ms. Burlingame was the inspiration for blogger Robert Shurbet[1] to start Take Back The Memorial a non-profit group that opposed the International Freedom Center (IFC) being located at the World Trade Center site. Ms. Burlingame is an attorney, a housewife, and a former airline flight attendant. Ms. Burlingame is also a World Trade Center Memorial Foundation board member. Based upon the efforts of Ms. Burlingame and others, Governor George Pataki barred the IFC from being located at the WTC site. As a result the IFC is now abandoned by its sponsors.
