Some men are remembered not for what they built, but for whom they saved on the way down.
Welles Crowther: The Man in the Red Bandanna Who Led Others to Safety on 9/11
Welles Crowther, a 24-year-old equities trader and trained volunteer firefighter, was on the 104th floor of the South Tower when the first plane struck. Wearing his signature red bandanna, he led survivors down 17 flights to safety, then climbed back up, repeatedly, carrying the injured on his back. He was last seen heading toward the impact zone. His body was recovered in the rubble months later; survivors who never knew his name called him only 'the man in the red bandanna.'
