Forward Outlook & Market Perspective
âIt was chaos," the 41-year-old recalls. "Just everybody trying to find people."
He didnât know anyone at the time who worked in the Twin Towers, but had family members who were in the area.
He says he wants younger generations to understand the magnitude of unity, patriotism, and bravery that filled the city in the aftermath.
âEverybody came together, and everybody helped everybody, and working down on the pile, even outside communities,â he says.
âEverybody lost people,â he says. But the togetherness and care that he felt in the aftermath was the âbest part that came out of that terrible dayâ.
Events commemorating those who died in the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago have now been taking place across the US for a few hours now.
