Poem of Tribute about 2 year-old Christine Hanson, Who Died on One of the Hijacked Airliners on September 11-Truth!

 

 

 

bulletSummary of eRumor:
A moving poem written as though from the first-person perspective of Christine Hanson, a 2 year-old girl on United Flight 175, one of the airplanes that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11.
bulletThe Truth:
It's interesting how a tragedy like the attack on America can seem abstract just because it's so far away and involves the loss of so many people.  

This simple poem is a reminder that it wasn't several thousand people who died that day.  It was one person.  And another person.  And another person.  Multiplied thousands of times.

Little  Christine Hanson died on flight 175 along with her parents, 32 year-old Peter Hanson and 35 year-old Susan Kim-Hanson.  They were from Groton, Massachusetts.

We don't know who the author is.

Christine Hanson

A real example of the story as it has been circulated:

My name is Christine Hanson.
I am only two years old.
I am going for a ride,
or thats what I am told.

I am sitting here quietly,
next to my mom and dad.
I am having a fun time.
Everyone seems glad.

Why is he yelling Daddy?
Please tell me what' s wrong!
Please don't cry Mommy,
this ride won't be that long!

Why are we getting up
and moving to the back?
Why is everyone crying?
Why is she being attacked?

What did I do wrong?
Why are they yelling at us?
Why is everyone screaming?
What is all the fuss?

I thought you said that
this plane ride would be fun.
Is this a game Mommy?
Am I it, am I the one?

I think I will hide behind you,
so that I don't get caught.
Daddy this isn't fun anymore!
This isn't what I thought.

Why do I see buildings
right out the next window?
Shouldn't we stop now?
Shouldn't we go slow?

What was that loud boom?
Why do I see fire?
What just happened Daddy?
We should have been higher!

We have hit a building,
the World Trade Center I think.
I am slowly dying now.
I can't open my eyes to blink.

Where are you Mommy?
Why can't I hear your voice?
Why did they drive us here?
This wasn't our choice.

My name is Christine Hanson,
I am only two years old.
We were going for a plane ride.
That's what we were told.

I'll never go to prom.
I wont reach the age of three.
Why did this happen to these people?
Why did this happen to me?

Please pass this on in memory of Christine Hanson who was killed on
flight 175 at 9:03 am and for the thousands more who died on 9-11-01, the day America was under attack.
