Lauren Grandcolas’ Final Message Before Flight 93’s Tragic End

Remembering once again one of the emotional last voice recordings from September 11, which belongs to Lauren Grandcolas. She was 3 months pregnant and was on Flight 93 when it was hijacked. Born on August 31, 1963, Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas would be 62 years old today in 2026. On September 11, 38-year-old Grandcolas, an advertising sales consultant for Good Housekeeping magazine, was returning home to San Rafael, California having flown to New Jersey to attend her grandmother's funeral. Upon arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport earlier than expected, she decided to switch to an earlier flight, due to depart at 8 a.m., to San Francisco. She called her husband to alert him to her updated arrival plans but, given the time difference he was still in bed. She boarded United Flight 93 and took her seat in row 11. From the passenger cabin, Grandcolas managed to place another call recorded on the couple's home answering machine after the aircraft had been hijacked. With extraordinary calm and careful wording, she informed her husband that "we're having a little problem on the plane; I'm totally fine. I love you more than anything; just know that." A total of 37 phone calls were made from United Airlines Flight 93 during the hijacking on September 11, 2001. These calls were placed by passengers and crew members between the time the plane was hijacked at 9:28 am and the time of the crash at 10:03 am. We will never forget Lauren, her unborn child, and all 40 heroes of Flight 93. IG @healthymindset_now #NeverForgetFlight93September11LaurenGrandcolas911Heroes
