COT: • Welles Crowther was an equities trader at Sandler O’Neill and a volunteer firefighter at Empire Hook & Ladder Co. #1 in Nyack, NY. Welles was known for saving as many as 18 lives during the September 11 attacks in New York City. While carrying a woman on his back Crowther made his way to the 78th floor of the South Tower where he encountered a group of survivors who followed him 17 floors down where he dropped off the woman he was carrying before heading back up to help more people.
• When he returned to the 78th floor he had a red bandana around his nose and mouth to protect himself from the smoke. He was last seen assisting members of the FDNY to administer first aid and put out fires before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 am. He was 24 years old.
• The legacy that Welles Crowther leaves is a true example of the common man doing the uncommon thing during crisis.

These brave men rushed into the burning towers to save lives, climbing stairs and guiding civilians to safety, demonstrating unparalleled selflessness and dedication.
We often use the phrase “Never Forget” to remember all nearly 3,000 people killed on 9/11, including the 343 firefighters and other public safety personnel who died that day. While remembering the 9/11 firefighters, celebrate heroes in our daily lives.
