A bittersweet goodbye: Stamford widow finds solace in final phone call from husband - Greenwich Time

"Sean," she said, looking at the television screen. "The flames are nowhere near you."

She knew flames weren't the main danger now; the smoke that was filling the office was. She could hear him having trouble breathing.

"How bad is the smoke?" she said.

"Pretty bad," he said.

"Sean, it doesn't seem to me that they are going to be able to get to you in time," Eckert told her husband. "I think we need to say goodbye."

They spent the next few minutes talking about their love for each other and the wonderful life they had shared. She said she wished she was there with him. He said to give his love to everyone.

"I heard him say, 'I love you,' then I heard a terrible explosion and a roaring sound," Eckert said. "It sounded like Niagara Falls. I knew without seeing that he was gone."
