Monica Iken-Murphy met her husband-to-be Michael on September the 11th, 1999. The couple soon married, and after only a few months of married life, Monica talked with Michael for the last time. It was Tuesday, September the 11th, 2001 - exactly two years to the day after they'd first met. Monica's husband, bond trader Michael Iken, was working 84 stories above Manhattan, in the south tower of the World Trade Center when the first plane hit.. Nathan Rarere spoke with Monica while she was at New York's 9/11 memorial - a place the world came to know as Ground Zero. He asked about her husband Michael's last morning.
