The reporter talked about 40 minutes, then asked if Field could be photographed for a front-page story. The Fargo Forum, a Pulitzer Prize-winning daily based in Fargo ND, sent a photographer to McConnell&#8217;s farm near Glyndon, MN, 13 miles east of Fargo. On 9-12-2001 the headline was, &#8220;Our Nation Saw Evil,&#8221; and included photographs of the World Trade Center rubble, Osama Bin Laden, President George W. Bush, and Field McConnell.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper was very familiar with McConnell&#8217;s background as a Lt. Colonel and aviation pilot who had flown the F4 Phantom and F16 Falcon during his 16 years of duty with the North Dakota ANG. His inclusion in that day&#8217;s headline news story clearly demonstrated that McConnell was an 9-11 &#8220;expert.&#8221; Field still has a copy of the 9-12-2001 article and offers to email it to anyone upon request.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell maintains a strong, vested interest with the events of 9-11. Two USNA alums, Captain Chic Burlingame [USNA &#8217;71] and Captain Gerald DeConto [USNA &#8217;79], died on 9-11-2001 as a result of two separate accidents.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Burlingame was a classmate of McConnell&#8217;s who perished when his AA77 vaporized over the Atlantic Ocean. Captain DeConto died 45 minutes after Captain Burlingame&#8217;s accident when the Pentagon was hit by the flying aircraft that struck a window where DeConto was stationed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.captainsherlock.com\/\">Click here<\/a> for more information about Field McConnell.<\/p>\n<p>DAVID HAWKINS is a Forensic Economist for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawkscafe.com\/\">Hawks CAFE<\/a>, specializing in Disaster Analysis and Virtual-Reality Prototyping.
