Rona Ramon, spoke to the media for the first time since Saturday's tragedy. "The only thing that haunts me now is that during the take off, while we were all in 'high', because it was such a wonderful and perfect event, my youngest daughter yelled 'I lost my daddy' and apparently she knew," Ramon said.
