my name is scott maurer and you heard my daughter lorin maurer was a passenger on flight 3407. tomorrow at 10:17 it will be 18 weeks into our lives were changed forever. the minutes, hours, days and weeks that have passed since this tragedy has been an unbelievable nightmare for all of us. it's a pain that you will never know, and certainly one we hope no one else will face. we believe very strongly the crash did not have to happen, and was preverbal. as such, we are here today and will be here tomorrow and beyond to ask for your help and push for change so that other families can be spared this pain. when my 30 year old daughter, lorin maurer, and athletics fundraiser at princeton university and future athletic director purchased her ticket from continental airlines, she assumed the pilots would who would fly that plane were competently trained. she thought they had significant experience and knowledge of the plane, and all of the flight control features. as she took her seat in three a., for an exciting valentine weekend to join her boyfriend, kevin kuwik in buffalo, i'm sure

lorin, does this sound '80s whe in texas?ng about this, i have to tell you, a study out just showed that the reason people walk away is because they put no money down. if the banks merely asked for 20% down, they would have eliminated that problem outright. >> absolutely. we saw this here in the '80s, when things were certainly a lot more dire, in many ways, in texas than they are in california now. this becomes basically simple economics. if you have no equity in your home, as you said, you have nothing to lose. eventually, people walk away. the only thing that keeps them from doing that is it's morally irreprehensible doing that. >> someone could come in there, make some money on that trade. can't they? >> we know a thing or two about foreclosed property here in southern california, trying to find these people walking way. there's not a lot of them out there. it's not as easy as all that to pull up your family and move somewhere else. it's not as big a trend as you thought. there's a lot of bad actors out there. as we shake

maurer is also joined this morning by his wife and lorin's boyfriend. i am deeply impressed with the work and all of the families of the
