Deborah ("Debra") Burlingame (born 1954) is the sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame III, the pilot of the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 that was deliberately crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 by Al Qaeda terrorists. Ms. Burlingame was the inspiration for blogger Robert Shurbet[1] to start Take Back The Memorial a non-profit group that opposed the International Freedom Center (IFC) being located at the World Trade Center site. Ms. Burlingame is an attorney, a housewife, and a former airline flight attendant. Ms. Burlingame is also a World Trade Center Memorial Foundation board member. Based upon the efforts of Ms. Burlingame and others, Governor George Pataki barred the IFC from being located at the WTC site. As a result the IFC is now abandoned by its sponsors.
