WASHINGTON (AP) - The daughter-in-law of a woman who died in a smoke-filled subway tunnel says her family is devastated and that eye-witness accounts of her final moments are “horrific to think about.”
Suzanne Glover says in a Wednesday email that her mother-in-law, 61-year-old Carol Glover of Alexandria, Virginia, had two grown sons, three beloved grandchildren, and was looking forward to celebrating her granddaughter’s first birthday this weekend.
Suzanne Glover says her mother-in-law embodied humility and strength, was quick to listen, gave good, measured advice, and “had a smile that could light up a room.”
She says the family is devastated by her “tragic and sudden loss.”
Glover died Monday after an electrical malfunction filled a subway tunnel with smoke in what was described as a chaotic and terrifying scene.
