Leonardi served as a liaison between law enforcement and the families of the passengers and crew members killed on United Airlines Flight 93. She arrived on the scene about three hours after the crash.
Her book centers on her vision of angels:
“A white mist then began to take shape,” Leonardi recounts in her book. “It moved and swirled in patterns of spectacular white light. All at once, the mist took full shape and I saw what appeared to be angels.”
“There were angels standing in the open area to the left of the crash site. There were hundreds of them standing in columns. There was a field of angels emerging from the realms of the mist. They were Archangels with their wings arched up toward the sky,” she explained.
“And I didn’t say anything to the guys because you can imagine if I would have said, ‘I just saw angels on the crash site,’ they’d have called the office and they’d have said, ‘She lost her mind and tell her to go home’.”
But she added that she saw more than just the shapes inside the mist. She and two men with her spotted a Bible from the plane that had been barely singed. All of a sudden this huge wind came out of nowhere and flipped that Bible open and I remember it flipped open to Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd…” she told CBS Pittsburgh.
On the 25th anniversary of that tragic day, we remember those who lost their lives and the loved ones they left behind. May God's angels enfold our hearts to extend love and peace and strength to all. Pray for peace in our hearts and the world.
