On September 11, 2001, Andrea Haberman began her morning with a cherished routine she shared with her fiancé: the first to call the other would win their daily contest. On this day, Andrea was the winner.
She called early from a desk at the Carr Future offices in the North Tower, preparing for her 9:00 a.m. meeting.
Roughly 40 minutes after their conversation, a hijacked airplane struck the tower just above her location, making escape impossible.
In the following months, workers at the recovery site found some of Andrea’s belongings, including the cell phone she used for her final call.
These items are now part of the exhibits at the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
