Guttenberg victim was daughter of 9/11 pilot
The woman killed in this morning's fire at the Galaxy Towers was the daughter of the pilot of the hijacked jet that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11, authorities said this afternoon.
Wendy Burlingame, 32, was the daughter of Charles F. Burlingame III, who was the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77 on Sept. 11, 2001. Terrorists took control of the plane and flew it into the Pentagon, killing all 59 people on board and 125 people on the ground.
She was found dead in her apartment, apparently of smoke inhalation, after a fire started inside her bedroom sometime Monday night. Fire officials said Burlingame and her boyfriend attempted to douse the fire using water from a sink, but it quickly spread out of control. The boyfriend made it out of the apartment, but the door closed and locked behind him and he couldn't get back inside. Burlingame and her two dogs -- identified by the Humane Society as a 4-year-old female pitbull and a 3-month-old pitbull puppy -- were found dead inside.
