Rowland Morgan Obituary, July 7, 1945 – April 21, 2021

On June 8, 2021

The 9/11 Consensus Panel has lost a valued member, writer and journalist Rowland Morgan.

Rowland Morgan Rowland’s value to society was driven largely by his lifelong spirit of thumos:

“Thumos is our will to fight, our need to rebel against that which is intolerable. It is what makes us stand up and declare ‘I will not be silenced!’. It is what makes us dive headlong against the devastation of this world; what compels us to courageously fight the good fight.”

His lively spirit of outrage against injustice led him to write prolifically, including two published (and well-reviewed) books on 9/11:

Flight 93 Revealed: What Really Happened on the 9/11 Let’s Roll Flight?
by Rowland Morgan and Ian Henshall, Robinson Publishing, 2006

9/11 Revealed: The Unanswered Questions,
by Rowland Morgan and Ian Henshall, Carrol & Graf, 2005

There are two media obituaries (The Guardian and The Vancouver Sun) showing his productive life, and also the love and esteem in which he was held by his family and friends:

I was first introduced to Rowland by David Griffin, when David came to speak in Vancouver in May, 2007. This led to my happy friendship with Rowland and his family, who live close by on Vancouver Island, Canada. Rowland’s passing is indeed a great loss to us all.
