Five years after her father was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 32-year-old Wendy Burlingame died in a tragic fire that swept through her high-rise apartment. Her father, Charles Burlingame III, was the pilot of American Airlines 77 when terrorists took control of the plane and then crashed it into the Pentagon. An examination of his remains showed the 51-year-old former U.S. Navy captain struggled with the terrorists and was killed before the crash, according to published reports.
