9/11 blunder by Alverno College President

A humiliating 9/11 blunder tonight by Alverno’s College President. As the featured speaker at Alverno’s 9/11 Remembrance Service marking the ten year anniversary Dr. Mary Meehan made a terrible mistake. Sponsored by Alverno’s Civility Project her address was publicized as An opportunity to hear her compelling, first-hand experience of the day that touched us all. Milwaukee’s Fox6 television affiliate recorded her address. In fact, Fox6 interviewed Dr. Meehan and several parents after the event.

Shockingly, Dr. Meehan was not even in New York City on 9/11. She “watched” events unfold more than 15 miles away from South Orange New Jersey on the campus of Seton Hall University.

9/11 blunder by Alverno College President
Seton Hall University to Ground Zero as the crow flies.

Dr. Meehan’s fake attempt to share a “compelling, first-hand experience” is a humiliation to Alverno College and damages her reputation.

Her address could have described fuselage debris from United 175 scattered on the grounds of the World Trade Center Complex.
But you could not see the debris from Seton Hall.

Her address could have described how within seconds of United 175 impacting the South Tower a human leg fell onto Liberty Street in-front of the Deutsche Bank Building.
But you could not hear the screams from from Seton Hall.

She could have described how the impact of United 175 physically shook the entrance to the Deutsche Bank Building across the street from the South Tower.
But you could not feel the impact from Seton Hall.

If only Dr. Meehan was standing across the street from the South Tower the exact moment United 175 struck at 9:03am.
You would have stood next to my wife.
