About Me

I'm a PhD student researching the role of the archaeological dead in contemporary British society. Think of this as a scrapbook of all the interesting links, snippets of information and random bits and bobs I come across pertaining to death, dying and the dead. Enjoy?!

    Smithsonian to display remnants of September 11 attacks...

    When a hijacked aircraft smashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Lisa Lefler left behind her briefcase as she fled to safety from her office on the 103rd floor.

    Fifty-six minutes later, 175 of Lefler’s colleagues, as well as that briefcase, were entombed in the wreckage.

    Lefler’s briefcase, along with more than 50 objects collected after the attacks that claimed 3,000 lives, will be displayed September 3 to 11 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, museum officials announced on Thursday.
