A firefighter vanished during the 9/11 attacks and was never found. Eight years later, his family discovered a photograph capturing him running toward the World Trade Center as crowds rushed away from danger. The image showed Gary Box in his final known moments, heading into the chaos on September 11, 2001.
The story of firefighter Gary Box is a heartbreaking but true account of courage during the September 11 attacks. A 35-year-old member of FDNY’s Squad 1, Box was among the first responders who raced toward the World Trade Center that morning. For years, his family had no clear understanding of his final moments and believed his unit’s vehicle may have been trapped in the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel when the towers collapsed.
That uncertainty ended in 2009 when a Danish photographer who had been in New York on 9/11 came forward with previously unseen photographs. One image showed Box running through the traffic-clogged tunnel in full firefighting gear, carrying his helmet as he headed toward the burning Twin Towers while civilians and vehicles moved in the opposite direction. For his family, the photograph provided a measure of closure, revealing that he had made it through the tunnel and spent his final moments doing what he had always done—running toward danger in an effort to help others.

Christian Craighead… the man who ran toward gunfire when everyone else stayed back.
In the 2019 Nairobi attack, Al-Shabaab militants stormed the DusitD2 complex while chaos unfolded inside. With no orders and no backup, Craighead—an off-duty British SAS soldier—chose to act. He entered the building alone, faced the attackers, and guided terrified civilians to safety, going back in again and again. By the end, he had helped save over 700 lives, earning recognition as a hero—even as some officials questioned his defiance.
