The death of the man who orchestrated the attack that killed thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001, did not heal the wounds of local people who saw their lives forever changed that day. “Right now it doesn’t take away any of the pain or make me feel any better,” said Bianca Angelino Grimaldi, 34, whose fiance Paul Ambrose was aboard United Airlines Flight 77 when it slammed into the Pentagon. Ambrose was a preventive medicine fellow and was working on projects for the surgeon general when he was killed.
“I’m seeing others celebrating or very happy, but I’m sort of at a loss,” Grimaldi said. “I wish I could share in their elation.”
