Grace Maxwell, a mechanical engineering student, was returning to college just a day after her grandfather's funeral, when an American Airlines jet collided with a military helicopter over Washington, D.C. Grace Maxwell and 66 others were killed. The moments Grace Maxwell spent with her grandfather over the years were some of the happiest moments she's ever had. It was the last time Grace Maxwell, 20, visited his home in Wichita, Kansas.

Among the other victims of this accident was a young lawyer from the country's capital. The lawyer finished his meeting in Wichita early so that he could return home on the occasion of his birthday. So that he could celebrate his birthday with his family. But he also died in this accident.

Another victim was a police colonel who was based in the Philippines. His work took him to Kansas to inspect equipment being purchased by the police force.

“Can you imagine, seven days after losing a parent, a person lost a child?” Cedarville President Thomas White told a crowd gathered at the university in southwestern Ohio. Maxwell was known for helping others on campus, having worked this semester to create a hand-stabilizing device to help a disabled boy feed himself and working on the student radio station.

People at the school said about Grace Maxwell that we don't know why a young, bright, shining star was taken away from us so early? Coincidentally, many passengers boarded Flight 5342.

Elizabeth Anne Keys is a lawyer. She was on a business trip to Wichita. She was worried that she would not be able to celebrate her 33rd birthday in Washington with her longtime partner David Seidman. But her work was completed in time.
