[Copied from a post on another list]
Danny Lewin, co-founder of Akamai technologies, was in one of the planes:
<http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010911/112407_1.html>
Danny was a buddy of mine, and many, many people at Akamai. We will all
dearly miss him.
He was not just an executive at a big company. He honestly did drive our
corporation and give us all a boost, emotionally, professionally. His loss
will be felt profoundly, on a very personal level.
Of course, many people from all over the world will be feeling this type of
loss today. I do not mean to trivialize their loss, just want to honor
Danny's memory.
Sorry for the off-topic post.
