Michael Tarrou, 38, and Amy King, 29, Stafford Springs, CT

Tarrou and King worked as flight attendants for United
Airlines and were on Flight 175 when it crashed into the
south tower of the World Trade Center.

Tarrou grew up in Wantagh, N.Y., and King grew up in
Jamestown, N.Y. Both moved to Stafford Springs where they
met as flight attendants.

He is survived by an 11-year-old daughter, Gina, from a
previous marriage. Family members said he had a good
relationship with his ex-wife, Jill, who recently moved to
Florida with their daughter. "He never intentionally hurt
anyone," said his mother, Patricia Tarrou of Clearwater,
Fla.

Tarrou and King had hoped to move to Florida to be near his
family.

"There is no doubt that both Mac and Amy would have done
absolutely everything in their power to calm and protect the
passengers and crew, and would have given their lives to
prevent such a disaster," Tom Lumia, Tarrou's
brother-in-law, said. "They both were two of the most
compassionate, peaceful, giving and understanding people on
the earth, and they will be greatly missed. We will love
them forever."
