Everything about Edward P Felt totally explained
Edward Porter Felt (

1959 –
September 11,
2001) was a victim of the
September 11, 2001 attacks.
He was a passenger aboard

911 immediately prior to the fatal crash of the jetliner.
He was survived by his wife, Sandy, and two daughters, Adrienne and Kathryn.
Felt worked for
BEA Systems at the time, which issued a press release following his death:
» The BEA family has suffered the tragic loss of two of its employees. Ed Felt, one of our first employees, best engineers, and most respected and loved colleagues, died in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93. Ed, a senior architect based in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, was one of the original members of the
BEA Tuxedo team, and was instrumental in making that product so successful. In fact, this past August Ed was awarded a U.S. Patent for "Method of Authentication Based on Intersection of Password Sets". He was a mentor and friend to many of us, and an inspiration to all.
BEA later named one of their office buildings after Felt.
Final Call
At 9:58 am, Felt called 911 on his cell phone and reached an operator in Westmoreland County. "We're being hijacked. We're being hijacked," he told emergency dispatcher John Shaw, as the plane passed over
Mt. Pleasant Township. Felt reported that he'd locked himself in the bathroom to make the phone call; he may have been part of a group of passengers who were herded into the rear of the plane, or, as he travelled first class, may have called from the forward bathroom. The call lasted one minute and 10 seconds. At 10:03 am, the airplane crashed into the ground, killing all aboard.
