About this episode

Jessica Trant and Elizabeth Miller discuss their experiences growing up after losing their fathers in the September 11 attacks.

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, two women who lost their fathers at the World Trade Center are opening up about grief, memory, and justice that still hasn't arrived. Jessica Trant was 19 when her father Dan Trant, a Cantor Fitzgerald bond trader and former NBA draft pick, called from the 104th floor of the North Tower to say goodbye. Elizabeth Miller was six when her father Doug Miller, an FDNY Rescue 5 firefighter, ran into the towers and never came home. In this episode, Jessica and Elizabeth, the subjects of the new CBS documentary Daughters of 9/11 — join me to talk about growing up around an empty chair, how differently they each grieve, their trips to Guantánamo Bay, and their sharply different views on what should happen to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the confessed architect of 9/11 whose trial still hasn't begun, 25 years later.        Reality Life with Kate Casey  Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary   What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com   Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca   Tik Tok…
