1 MESSAGE ON A WING: Together with American Airlines, we brought an origami crane fabricated out of steel recovered from 9/11 on our 1 st mission in This symbol of quake recovery from the international community dedicated for children s comfort was inspired by Sadako Sasaki, who died at age 12 from radiation exposure after the bombing of Hiroshima. One of Sadako s origami cranes was previously donated to the 9/11 Tribute Center and we made a symbolic return of Sadako s wish for peace and comfort for children.
