On September 11, 2001, New York City firefighters entered the World Trade Center while thousands of people were desperately trying to escape.

For many firefighters, the mission was simple: keep climbing, reach those who needed help, and get as many people out as possible.

The conditions inside the towers became increasingly dangerous. Smoke filled stairwells, communications were difficult, and firefighters carried heavy equipment upward while exhausted and injured civilians moved in the opposite direction toward safety.

Hundreds of firefighters, police officers and other emergency personnel continued working despite the extraordinary danger around them.

By the end of that morning, the FDNY had suffered an unimaginable loss: 343 members were killed in connection with the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Behind that number were 343 individual lives — firefighters with families, friends and colleagues who had responded to help strangers during one of the darkest mornings in American history.

Their sacrifice remains one of the defining stories of September 11.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Rick Rescorla faced the emergency he had spent years preparing for.

Rescorla was the director of security for Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center. After the 1993 bombing, he became convinced that employees needed to be ready for another major emergency. He repeatedly organized evacuation drills, teaching thousands of workers exactly how to leave the towers.

When the first plane struck the North Tower on 9/11, an announcement initially advised people in the South Tower to remain where they were. Rescorla did not wait. He began evacuating Morgan Stanley employees from the building.

As people descended the stairwells, Rescorla reportedly used his megaphone and even sang songs to help frightened employees remain calm and keep moving.

Thousands made it out.

But Rescorla didn't simply leave with them. After helping people escape, he went back into the South Tower to continue searching for anyone who might still need help.

He never came back out.

Rick Rescorla was killed when the South Tower collapsed. His years of preparation and his decisions that morning are credited with helping save the lives of nearly 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees.

He had prepared for the worst — and when it arrived, he stayed behind to help others survive.
