Jeremy Logan Glick (September 3, 1970 [citation needed]- September 11, 2001) was one of the passengers on board United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked as part of the September 11 attacks. Aware of the earlier crashes at the World Trade Center, Glick and some of his fellow passengers attempted to foil the hijacking. During a struggle to reclaim the aircraft, it crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all 33 passengers and seven crew members on board.
Personal life
Glick attended Saddle River Day School in Saddle River, New Jersey. On August 31, 1996, he married long-time girlfriend Lyzbeth. The two were prom king and queen in 1988. The couple had a daughter, Emerson, born on June 18, 2001. They named her after the author Ralph Waldo Emerson. Glick has five other siblings, all of whose names begin with the letter 'J'. He was a middle child among the six children of his family.
Glick was an American National Collegiate Judo champion — while he was a student at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York,[1][2] where he was president of the Rochester chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity — and later he worked as a sales and marketing executive for Vividence, an e-consulting company in San Mateo, California. Glick also played rugby at the University of Rochester where he was a team Captain.[3]
Glick was a resident of West Milford, New Jersey.[4]
September 11 attacks
According to accounts of cell phone conversations, Glick, along with Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham and Tom Burnett, formed a plan to take the plane back from the hijackers, and led other passengers in this effort.[5] Glick's last words to his wife when aboard Flight 93 were: "We're going to rush the hijackers." He then hung up the phone.[6][7]
Co-workers and family all stated that they were not surprised that Glick took action. Glick's brother-in-law Douglas Hurwitt said, "that was my brother-in-law. He was a take-charge guy."[6] Glick's former boss, Thomas Torf, added: "He was a no-nonsense kind of guy. He took ownership of things. Very focused. He loved his family. He was a good businessman. All of us loved him."[8]
Awards and honors
On September 11, 2002, Glick was posthumously awarded the Medal for Heroism, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).[9]
Glick's sister, Joanna Glick, who finished tenth in the 2001 Junior National Amateur Figure Skating competition, skated a tribute to her brother at a benefit at Madison Square Garden, for which she received a standing ovation. Joanna, who was profiled in Joe McNally's portrait book, Faces of Ground Zero, said of her brother: "He was so strong. I was thinking I should be strong too. Jeremy lives in our hearts. Love, freedom and bravery live on forever."[10]
Glick was awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award in 2002.[11]
In September 2008, the United States Judo Association (USJA), awarded him with an Honorary 10th Degree black belt.[12]
West Milford, New Jersey honored Glick by naming the Jeremy Glick Trail, and the vista, Jeremy Glick's Overlooks, after him.[13][14][15]
At the National 9/11 Memorial, Glick is memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-67, along with other passengers on Flight 93.[16]
