HE SAVED THOUSANDS… BUT NEVER MADE IT OUT HIMSELF. 💔
September 11, 2001. The World Trade Center was under attack.
Inside the South Tower, thousands of people faced an unimaginable nightmare.
But one man already knew what to do.
His name was Rick Rescorla.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Rick had insisted on emergency evacuation drills for Morgan Stanley employees.
When the attacks began, he ignored calls to remain inside and started leading people down the stairs to safety.
He used a bullhorn. He sang to calm frightened workers.
And even after helping thousands escape, he went back inside to search for anyone still missing.
He never returned.
Rick Rescorla is credited with helping save around 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees.
He gave his life trying to save others.
He believed that no one should be left behind.
Some heroes are remembered for what they survived.
Rick Rescorla is remembered for the people he helped save. ❤️🇺🇸
