Ep. 117 September 11, 2001-John's Harrowing Escape From New York City

John Pontacolone was on his way to work on the morning of September 11, 2001. 

John worked for the city of New York.  He was on the sidewalk when the first plane careened overhead and crashed into the World Trade Center. 

John and other New Yorkers instinctively crouched onto the ground as the plane screamed past them.

John was an eyewitness to both planes hitting the buildings and the subsequent implosions.

John spent 13+ harrowing hours trying to escape the city.  He saw dead bodies in the East River.  He saw the faces of fear everywhere he looked.

John's story is also a story of miracles, and how things could have been much worse.  

This episode is one for families to hear together.

September 11, 2001, WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.” — George W. Bush
