Woman's 9/11 survival story questioned by Delia Cruceru

A woman that claimed to be a survivor of the 9/11 attacks is alleged of fabricating its story. Tania Head said that she escaped badly burned on the 78th floor of the south tower, the flames from her clothes being doused by Welles Remy Crowther who died trying to save others and that another dying man handed her his inscribed wedding ring, which she later returned to his widow. "I was in the tower," Head said. "I lost my fiancé that day." Head was removed as president from the board of the World Trade Centre Survivors' Network on Sunday in response to a story in The New York Times. Reporters from The New York Times said that her story couldn't be verified, because no records of her working for Merrill Lynch, or attending Harvard, or Stanford were found. "Tania Head is no longer associated with the World Trade Center Survivors' Network," the group said in a statement on their website. "Our organization was created so that those affected by the terrorist attacks could help each other through crisis and its aftermath." The family of her so called fiancé, who is a confirmed victim of the terror attacks, said that they never heard of her and the details of her story. Stephanie Furgang Adwar, Tania Head's lawyer, said in an email for The New York Times "With regard to the veracity of my client's story, neither my client, nor I, have any comment."
