Stone Phillips: What’s the hardest part of each day now for you? Stone Phillips: If you could have spoken to Todd that day on the plane, what would you have said to him? I wouldn’t know for sure what had happened with Todd. Lisa Beamer: You know, if it wasn’t for Lisa Jefferson, I wouldn’t be here talking to you right now. And over the past year, they have stayed in touch. Four days after 9/11, the two Lisas spoke. It was Lisa Jefferson who heard him utter, “Let’s roll” to a fellow passenger as the counterattack began. In his 15 minute conversation with Lisa Jefferson, Todd described the desperate situation on board - and asked her to tell his family how much he loved them. And he thought Lisa would be better able to help him do that than I would, and he was right. He was just trying to do what he could to get out of there. And he was just trying to do the right thing. But he said he didn’t want to upset me unnecessarily. And as I talked to Lisa later on, she said he went back and forth quite a few times whether he wanted her to connect him to me or not, because she could have done that. I wasn’t surprised that he didn’t call me. And I’ve always been thankful that I didn’t speak to him.
Lisa Beamer: Yes, he spoke to Lisa that day.
