Terrorist Attacks in U.S.: IASA Chairman Extends Support

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- IASA wishes to extend our support to all those touched by the horrific tragedy that has befallen the United States

Although this nightmare has been perpetrated on United States soil, it affects each and every free nation on this planet. At this time, like no other in our history, we need to take stock in the future and set aside our personal feelings of rage, grief and horror in order to work in a productive and forward thinking way, in the hopes that something such as this can never happen again.

It is my hope that this disaster delivers a wake up call for all those mandated to protect the flying public, at any cost. As this atrocity has cruelly demonstrated they are not only responsible for the safety of those who board an aircraft but also those who go about their business on the ground.

On a more personal level, my family (both within IASA, myself and my children) wish to extend our deepest sympathies to all those killed in this (yet another) needless and senseless fashion, as well as offer our sincere condolences to all those left behind in the wake of this nightmare. God's Speed to all, as you begin the process of crawling forward.

If we can be of any assistance to those of you so deeply affected by this tragedy please know we are here, and understand very well what you must be enduring at this most difficult time.

     God's Speed,

     Mrs. Lyn S. Romano
     Chairman IASA/US (International Aviation Safety Association)
