The Day – McCourts remembered in memorial garden 20 years after tragic deaths
On Sept. 11, 2001, Ruth McCourt and her 4-year-old daughter Juliana McCourt, of New London, boarded United Flight 175 in Boston, bound for Disneyland. They were both killed when their plane was hijacked by terrorists and flown into the World Trade Center’s north tower.
Twenty years after their tragic deaths, family and friends gathered on Friday at the McCourt 9/11 Memorial Garden created in their honor on the grounds of the Lyman Allyn Art Museum to remember the mother and daughter, and all those who died with them in the attacks.
