HER SECOND DAY AT WORK

Raisa and Valentina Tsoy’s only daughter would have been 40, but in the memories of her relative she will remain forever young.  According to Valentine Tsoy, Zhannetta won a ‘Green Card’ (immigration visa) and she was offered three cities to live in: Los Angeles, New York City, or San Francisco.  She chose New York City because the main office of the company she worked for in Kazakhstan was located there.

At first her parents were against her decision, but Zhannetta said she wanted to leave for a better place for her daughter’s sake, and her future.

“Really, it was such a unique occurrence.  She won the ‘Green Card’, and she was transferred from her job to the main office.  How could she not take advantage of it?  But you see how fate played such an evil trick,” said Valentine Tsoy.

Zhannetta was simply transferred from the Kazakhstan branch to the main office in New York, and she was supposed to start on September 17^th.  But they asked her to begin work a little earlier, and so she went on September 10^th.  Had she started work at the original time, she may have remained alive.  It was her second day at work, the second day of fulfilling her great American dream.

Zhannetta that morning went to work at the Marsh Company, in one of the offices in the World Trade Center.  After a few dozen minutes two airplanes, hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists, rammed into the famous New York skyscraper.  Among the thousands of innocent people killed was also Zhannetta Tsoy.

On that tragic day Zhannetta was brought to work by her husband, Vyacheslav Ligay.  During the first minutes of the catastrophe Zhannetta’s parents tried to call him, but he would not answer.  Only after three days could he tell them that Zhannetta had been gone for three days.
