Here are the names of some of those killed on the airline flights commandeered by terrorists Tuesday:

BARBARA OLSON, 45, was the wife of U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson. She was aboard American Flight 77 from Dulles International Airport when it crashed into the Pentagon. She twice called her husband as the plane was being hijacked and described some details, including that the attackers were using knife-like instruments. Barbara Olson was a chief investigator for the House Government Reform Committee in the mid-1990s. She later became a lawyer on the staff of Senate Minority Whip Don Nickles, before branching out on her own as a TV commentator and private lawyer. She was a frequent critic of the Clinton administration and wrote a book about Hillary Rodham Clinton.

DAVID ANGELL, 54, was executive producer of the NBC television show "Frasier." He was flying on American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles with his wife Lynn, according to Angell's brother, The Most Rev. Kenneth Angell, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, Vt. The Angells were returning from their summer home in Chatham, Mass., where Bishop Angell and other relatives had just spent a joyful family wedding weekend.

DANIEL C. LEWIN, 31, co-founder of Akamai Technologies in Cambridge, Mass., was aboard American Flight 11. He also was the company's chief technology officer and a board member. Lewin is survived by his wife and two sons. Lewin, who attended graduate school at MIT, became an instant billionaire - at least on paper - in October 1999 when Akamai made its Wall Street debut.

JOHN OGONOWSKI, 52, of Dracut, Mass., was the captain on American Flight 11. A former Air Force pilot, Ogonowski had just celebrated his birthday. He left a wife and three daughters - Laura, 16; Caroline, 14; Mary Catherine, 11. He was also a farmer who loved the land. His brother Jim Ogonowski said his 150-acre property would be preserved as open space, as his brother would have wanted.

EDMUND GLAZER, 41, Chatsworth, Calif., was chief financial officer and vice president of finance and administration of MRV Communications, a manufacturer of optical network components and systems. He is survived by his wife, Candy, and son, Nathan.

TOM MCGUINNESS, of Portsmouth, N.H., was co-pilot of American Airlines Flight 11, an official at his church confirmed. Rick DeKoven, administrator at the church, said McGuinness was married with two teen-age children, a boy and girl. He said church pastors were with his wife when she was notified Tuesday morning. A prayer service was being held for him Tuesday night. DeKoven called him "a devoted family man," who was active in his community and church.
