Lizz Wainio loved Towson University, her alma mater. Always interested in retail, Lizz became a district manager for Discovery Channel Stores, a job she loved. Lizz Wainio was 27 and on a business trip aboard United Airlines Flight 93 on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, when terrorists hijacked the flight. She was able to call her family, about whom she was worried. Passengers and crew members on her flight are known to have fought back against the hijackers, bringing the plane down in a field in rural Pennsylvania instead of its Washington DC target – the only one of the four hijacked airliners that hurt no one on the ground.
