[Copied from a post on another list]

Danny Lewin, co-founder of Akamai technologies, was in one of the planes:

<http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010911/112407_1.html>


Danny was a buddy of mine, and many, many people at Akamai.  We will all 
dearly miss him.

He was not just an executive at a big company.  He honestly did drive our 
corporation and give us all a boost, emotionally, professionally.  His loss 
will be felt profoundly, on a very personal level.


Of course, many people from all over the world will be feeling this type of 
loss today.  I do not mean to trivialize their loss, just want to honor 
Danny's memory.


Sorry for the off-topic post.
