On the morning of September 11th, Hatton was on his way to work when he saw the North Tower being struck by the airliner at 8:46 am. Seeing the fire, he turned back to help, joining FDNY firefighters as they made their way up the North Tower. He guided civilians to safety and radioed to his squad multiple times, saying that people were jumping off the towers and that  a second plane had struck the South Tower. In an eyewitness account, a civilian remembered that Hatton was going back into the South Tower, when asked where he was going, he responded “back into the building”. He unfortunately died when the South tower collapsed at 9:59 am.

Rick Riscola was working as security for Morgan’s Stanley in the south tower. He always foretold there would be an attack and the twin towers would be the target. Because of that feeling he ensembles a plan to get people out of harms way. He made sure to practice an evacuation route regularly for the safety of others. And thank God he did; doing so he saved the lives of hundreds because they knew what to do. Also he was going up and down directing everyone that needed help. He tragically died that day.

Welles Crowther known as the “man in the red bandana” was a man who rushed in to the south tower to help trapped survivors escape. He spoke to the people trapped and guided them to stairways leading them to safety. He saved many people that he could until the building collapsed. Fire firefighters went in to find remains when they came across his body. He is now remembered as a hero and his red bandana is now on display at the 9/11 museum.

The story behind an iconic picture from 9/11 which is known as the falling man. This picture is a picture taken by Richard Drew who is one associated press photographers who where at the scene. In the actual picture it shows a man who is falling to his death near the steel frame of the north tower. The man in the picture seems to be quite serene because there is no debris, and no dead people in the background. The man in the picture was never identified still to this day.

The perfect pitch was the first pitch thrown in New York after 9/11. The pitch was thrown by president Bush. The United States was still in shambles from the attacks and Americans were scared and did not feel safe. The president walked out on to the field and waved to all the fans, Once he got to the mound, gave all the fans a thumbs up, letting them know that they were safe. He put his hand down and threw a perfect strike right down the middle. The fans went crazy and it was a true patriotic moment after the 9/11 attacks.

Orlo Palmer was a Battalion Chief of the New York City Fire Department who sacrificed his life to save trapped civilians with his team of firefighters. He and his team arrived on the 78th floor of the south tower, where the plane collided with the building. He had 3 children, and knew that going into the towers could mean he would never see his kids again, but willingly did it anyway because it was his job to keep others safe. Palmer and his team of firefighters acknowledged the decomposing of the tower, but stayed in to try and save as many lives as possible. At 9:59 AM, while Orlo Palmer was radioing to others that he needed assistance on the 79th floor, the building collapsed, killing everyone inside, including Palmer and his team. Palmer’s sacrifice was not forgotten, as the FDNY’s physical fitness award was renamed after him.

Brian Clark is one of the only 18 people in the South Tower to escape from the floor above where the plane struck. Not only escaping alone, he took a man with him who is Stanley Praimnath who was trapped under debris. Clark was able to carry him down to safety which was a very tough journey knowing he was above where the plane hit. When remembering 911 we should all think about the heroes that sacrificed and risked everything for saving people. First responders, people like Clark, and people who are there for families of lost ones are the true heroes.

A Port Authority police officer who lived in Manasquan, N.J., he rushed to the World Trade Center to help with rescues. He was 40 when he died in the south tower. Angelica and A.J. say the hero narrative wrapped around the story of the 9/11 first responders can overwhelm their intimate, personal loss. As A.J. puts it, it can be hard to cut through their dad's "larger-than-lifeness." And, he says, it's hard for him to stomach the ways 9/11 has become politicized: used as fodder for both patriotism and retribution. When he was 14, A.J. flew with his mom to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to observe a pre-trial hearing for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other defendants who are charged with orchestrating the 9/11 attacks. "There's never going to be a version of me that doesn't hate the people that did that," he says.

Welles Crowther was a hero who was able to save many lives of people stuck in the World Trade Center’s South Tower. A group of people on the 78th floor sky lobby were all  grouped together, unsure about what to do. Survivors described a man wearing a red bandana calmly helping them to safety. He saved as many people as he could until the building finally collapsed. He made a total of three trips and those survivors described a man wearing a red bandana who saved them. Soon, Alison Crowther realized this was none others than her son who carried a red handkerchief. He worked as a volunteer firefighter and also as an equities trader. His actions demonstrate bravery and strength which will forever be remembered.

# data[].attributes.body
Rick Rescorla saved almost 2,700 people during the attack of 9/11. He was the head of security in the South Tower. Before the attack, he fought for more safety measures at work after a terrorist bombing in the North Tower’s basement in 1993. He felt like there would be another attack at the World Trade Center. He was on the 44th floor in the South Tower when the plane hit. All of his coworkers knew exactly how to escape because of Rescorla. He taught them that you have to get to the elevator, don’t get to the stairwell, go down the stairwell, not up the stairwell and get away from the building. He was told to stay in place, but instead told people to follow him to evacuate. They made it about five blocks away from the building before he went back in to help anyone left. That was the last time anyone saw him alive. He was able to call his wife before he went back in.

David Paventi was from North Carolina in NYC for a business meeting at the north tower. He said he started to feel the building shake and thought it was an earthquake at the meeting, but he heard everybody leaving the room running and screaming so he was a bit confused. He started to run down the staircase and saw fire fighters running up the stairs to deal with the fire. Once he exited the north tower it collapsed behind him. He and his coworker managed to outrun the smoke cloud from it. They got to his co worker’s brothers house and David managed to to get a rental car and drove back to his family in North Carolina. Years later he visited ground zero where it happened looking at the banners with the names of the people who died and tole his wife “ That’s where my name would be,” “ It’s really strange to think about that stuff”.

Salty was a guide dog for Omar E. Riviera. The guide dog was able to guide their owner 71 floors out of the World Trade Center, after the first plane crashed into the tower 25 floors above. A similar case was with Roselle, another Labrador Retriever who led her owner, Michael Hingson down to safety 78 stories.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
September 11, 2022 marks the twenty-first anniversary of the national trauma the U.S. experienced as result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The aftermath of those attacks brought global traumas including ongoing warfare in much of the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of North Africa.

U.S. troops were evacuated from Afghanistan in August 2021, after a 20-year occupation that began with the effort to capture 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, who was finally killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011.
(See What does the Taliban mean for animals in Afghanistan?)
Animal heroes

Countless Facebook memes, web postings, and retrospective blogs commemorate the animal heroes of 9/11.

Among them were Salty, the Labrador retriever guide dog who led Omar E. Riviera, 43, down from the 71st floor of the World Trade Center, after the first jet hit 25 floors above; Roselle, the yellow Labrador guide dog who led Michael Hingson down from the 78th floor; and the estimated 300 search dogs, 200 of them Federal Emergency Management Agency-certified, who worked both at the World Trade Center site and at the Fresh Kills landfill, where they sought human remains among the rubble brought from Manhattan by truck.

Only one dog was killed at the World Trade Center site, a bomb-sniffing dog named Sirius who was brought to the scene by New York/New Jersey Port Authority police officer David Lim. Cyrus was crushed in his basement kennel when the first tower fell. The officer survived.

Humane response

The dogs' eyes were "pounded by the intense smoke, and their paws are getting burned and cut by glass debris," said the Suffolk County SPCA, which helped the North Shore Animal League America to staff an on-site veterinary support van.

Among the last commuters to cross the Whitestone bridge on the morning of 9/11 before it was closed, North Shore Animal League America operations director Perry Fina saw smoke pouring out of the World Trade Center disaster on his way to work and mobilized the animal relief team by cell phone while stuck in traffic.

Fina, who died in January 2008, bunked for the duration of the relief operation at the North Shore adoption shelter, with other staff. They followed a disaster plan previously practiced during severe snow storms.

Rumors flew long after 9/11 that many of the working dogs died from after-effects of their exposure to dust and smoke. Research by the American Kennel Club and Canine Health Foundation established in 2006 that the mortality rate among dogs who worked at the World Trade Center site was about 30% over the next five years, compared to 22% in a control sample.

None of the 9/11 hero dogs were pit bulls or of other bully breeds, a point worth mentioning only because of widely distributed cut-and-paste efforts to insert pit bulls into photos of the 9/11 rescue effort.

Human losses

Many human animal advocates and rescuers were killed on 9/11. Among them:

Jean A. Andrucki, associated with WildNetAfrica.org, who worked for the New York/New Jersey Port Authority treasury office at the World Trade Center;

David Arce, 36, a New York City firefighter who was remembered by his mother Margaret for "always bringing home stray cats and dogs";

Colin Bonnett, 39, of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, a Barbados-born equestrian, cat rescuer, and former veterinary assistant, who was a Marsh & McLennan telecommunications expert in the World Trade Center;

Sondra Conaty Brace, 60, who with her husband David Brace kept 25 rescued cats at their home in Staten Island, was killed at her job in the World Trade Center;

David Charlebois, a sustaining guardian of the Washington D.C. Humane Society, who was first officer on American Airlines flight 77, the jet that was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C.;

Nancy Farley, 45, a Jersey City cat rescuer, who worked for Reinsurance Solutions Inc. on the 94th floor of 1 World Trade Center;

David L.W. Fodor, 38, a former breeder and exhibitor of Rottweilers, including a national champion, who had turned to rescuing shelter animals, was killed on duty as a volunteer floor fire warden at #2 World Trade Center;

Angel Juarbe, 35, rescuer of eight stray dogs, who was a firefighter with Ladder Company 12 in Chelsea, New York;

Catherine L. Loguidice, 30, a Brooklyn cat rescuer, who was a Cantor Fitzgerald bond trader on the 105th floor of 1 World Trade Center;

Timothy O'Sullivan, an employee of the Wildlife Conservation Society;

Laura Rockefeller, 41, of White Plains, New York, who was directing a seminar for Risk Waters at Windows on the World in the World Trade Center, and was memorialized with a bench at the dog run in Riverside Park, New York City; and

Kirsten R. Santiago, 26, handler of two dogs for Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs Inc. of New Jersey, who worked for Insurance Overload Systems in the World Trade Center.

Many others involved

The events of 9/11 involved countless other members of the animal advocacy community.

Then-American SPCA president Larry Hawk, for instance, lost his sister, who was a flight attendant aboard the first plane that hit the World Trade Center.

Friends of Animals president Priscilla Feral's daughter spent the day trapped in the rubble, covered with human remains.

Longtime New York City activist Elizabeth Forel was two blocks from the World Trade Center when the first jet hit it, and was among the first blood donors on the scene.

Companion Animal Welfare Network founder Garo Alexanian and dog behaviorist Bobby DeFranco were working in mainstream TV news at the time, from an office in the World Trade Center, but were out of the office when all hell broke loose. They spent the next three days covering the situation nonstop.

AHA conference

The American Humane Association annual conference was underway three blocks from the Pentagon when Flight 77 slammed into it, witnessed by several attendees.

The conference concentrated experienced animal rescuers and disaster relief vehicles near the scene, but since relatively few animals were involved there, most of the conference attendees found little to do beyond trying to get back to their own animal shelters, scattered all over the U.S., with all civilian flights grounded.

Longterm effects of 9/11 included an economic slump that severely afflicted every phase of animal advocacy and humane work. Loss of funding for spay/neuter programs brought the only statistically significant cumulative increase in shelter killing, nationwide, of the past 40 years. U.S. donor aid to overseas humane programs slumped until after the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

"Meat is murder"

The most portentious and yet perhaps most overlooked aspect of 9/11 involving animals, however, may have been how attack planner Osama bin Laden persuaded his 19 suicidal hijackers to equate their massacre of more 2,996 people with meat slaughter.

Copies of bin Laden's four-page final instructions to the hijackers were found in the misdirected luggage of ringleader Mohamed Atta; the wreckage of United Airlines flight 93, crashed as passengers resisted hijacking near Somerset, Pennsylvania; and a car left at Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C. by the hijackers who hit the Pentagon.

"You must make your knife sharp, and you must not discomfort your animal during the slaughter," bin Laden ordered, describing slashing the throats of flight attendants, passengers, and pilots as hallal ritual killing, like dispatching sheep and goats at Ramadan or the Eid.

Instructions

This was the 13th of bin Laden's 15 instructions, translated for The New York Times by Imad Musa of the Capitol Communications Group.

"If you slaughter," bin Laden emphasized later in his instructions, again echoing the requirements of hallal slaughter, "do not cause the discomfort of those you are killing, because this is one of the practices of the prophet, peace be upon him."

Many and perhaps most of the nine billion animals sent to slaughter in the U.S. each year, and the billions more killed in other nations, have at least as long to sense doom as did the 9/11 victims.

Indeed, the animals' last cries may have much more in common with the cell phone calls made by some of the 9/11 victims than the typical meat-eater would like to believe.

Doomed animals, too, often put up frantic resistance, like the passengers who failed to retake United Airlines flight 93, but saved many lives by causing the hijackers to crash the plane far from any target.

The horror of 9/11 exemplified the meaning of the animal advocacy phrase "Meat is Murder!"

No one needs to take the words of vegan activists for it. Osama bin Laden himself said so.

When flight 175 hit the south twin towers everyone was panicking and full of fear. Suddenly there was a man with a red bandana covering his mouse and nose appeared, he spoke in a calm voice and led the people to the building lobby. The man in the red bandana then went another three times saving as many people as he can until the building burned down. A couple months later his remains were found with firefighters and everyone wondered who he was. It was then discovered that he was Welles Crowther.

The Harvey, a FDNY fireboat named for a captain killed while battling a ship fire during the 1930s. Launched a year later, the Harvey was the fastest, most powerful fireboat in the world. The Harvey fireboat was called out to some of the biggest waterfront disasters, such as massive pier blazes to the 1942 fires which would have needed another city fireboat if not for the Harvey’s very quick response time. This boat was finally retired in 1994 after serving. Although, the Harvey wasn’t done  serving yet. This 70-year-old vessel had responded to its biggest callout when the terrorists flew the hijacked planes into the twin towers. Three citizens Huntley Gill, Tim Ivory and Jessica DuLong would be aboard the John J.

“The Falling Man” is a photograph taken by Richard Drew on the day of the 9/11 attacks. It shows a man falling from the top floors of the North Tower of the Twin Towers in New York City. Later, his name was found out to be Jonathan Briley, a sound engineer. This was most likely to escape the fire and smoke of the towers. The day after the attacks, the photograph was published on international media. There was a lot of controversy about the purpose of the photograph. At first, many people thought it was sad and cold since a man was falling to his death. But over time, it was recognized as a significant photograph and a “touching work of art”.

Daniel Lewin - 9/11 Hero (Vikram Ranganath)

# data[].attributes.body
Daniel Lewin is known as the first victim of the 9/11 attacks. He was aboard flight 93, which was hijacked and intended to hit either the White House or the Capitol Building. Lewin was an American-Israeli entrepreneur who formerly served for the Special Forces in Israel. This job experience made him fluent in the language that the hijackers were speaking. Once he heard what they were saying and what their plans were, he most likely confronted 2 of the “soon-to-be” hijackers without realizing that the third was sitting right behind him. He was then stabbed by the third hijacker behind him, Satam al-Suqami, being the first victim of the horrendous attacks of 9/11. He tried his best to contact as many officials and alert as many people on the plane as possible before the terrorists unfortunately slashed his throat, killing him instantly. Lewin was survived by his wife and two sons back home in Denver, Colorado.

2 men that survived the 9/11 attacks is Brian Clark, a Canadian business man and Stanley Praimnath, who’s life was saved by Clark. Brian Clark’s office was struck on the 84th floor in the South tower at 9:03am. There were 3 staircases, and by chance the stairway he went on was the only one that was not destroyed. As a woman stopped him and told him to go upstairs he heard a banging noise of a buried man screaming for help. He immediately headed toward the voice and found the man who was Stanley Praimnath, a Fuji Bank employee who was alive because his desk shielded him. They finally got himself out after a few tries. “I said, ‘Uh, I’m Brian.’ He said, ‘I’m Stanley! We’ll be brothers for life!’” They headed back down the staircase. They ended up being only 2 out of 4 survivors where Flight 175 crashed. Today, they are still alive.

The Falling Man is a very famous photo from the event of 9/11. A guy named Richard Drew had started taking pictures of the tragedy and had got a clip of this. The picture is a guy falling to his death after jumping from the World Trade Center. There were around 200 people who had jumped to their death from the towers. What was different about this picture is that the man who jumped lined up with the building and and he appeared as if he was calm unlike the other people who had jumped. This picture made it to many newspapers and news channels and it showed another side of the 9/11 attack and not just the many people who died in the plane.

Captain Jay Jones was a firefighter who led 5 men into the World Trade Center on a rescue mission as it collapsed. Jay was put in a dangerous situation not knowing if he would come out alive, and chose to help out a woman who had fallen and was unable to get up. As 106 floors were falling above him he decided to save the woman. He carried her until he got her to safety. He says that without her, they might have not made it, he took the chance and saved the woman while getting out safely himself with his men. He risked his own life and was a big hero, one life may not seem like much, but if I was the person, I would be extremely grateful. He later on gave a speech about his story as you see on the picture. Not only did captain Jay Jones save lives, but he was a true hero.
