Officer Guadagno was returning from vacation at the time of the accident. While it may never be known for certain, there is reason to believe he was among the passengers who attempted to re-take the plane from the terrorists right before it crashed. It has been determined that Refuge Manager Guadagno was a commissioned Law Enforcement Officer at the time of his death.
