She Was Married to Brian Sweeney

Brian and Julie met each other in late 1998 at what many referred to as a “suit bar” located in Philly.

She told her girlfriend that he’s the kind of guy she would marry.

And they did! Brian and Julie got married in 1999. At the time of his death, Brian was a 38-year-old Defense Department contractor working for a company called Brandes Associates, and he was traveling from Boston to Los Angeles for business. He was on the United Airlines Flight 175 that crashed into the South Tower on that fateful day. When Brian realized that the plane was being hijacked, he made the quick decision to phone his wife.

Unfortunately, she was not home, so he left her a message, one that would become famous and go down in history books. Who knew, that message would turn out to be his last words.

This is what his famous words were on Brian Sweeney’s voicemail:

“Hey Jules, this is Brian. Ah, listen… I’m on an airplane that has been hijacked…if things don’t go well, and they’re not looking good, I want you to know that I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, have good times, same with my parents. I’ll see you when you get here. I want you to know that I totally love you. Bye, babe, hope I will call you.”

The message was left just over three minutes before the flight crashed into the World Trade Center. When Julie heard Brian’s message, there were so many thoughts going on in her head. In an interview, she called Brian “a warrior” and she was surprised that something like this took him away from her and his family.
