One of the saddest 9/11 stories I've read about.
A man on the West Side of the North Tower tried to climb down the side of the building using a technique known as a ''chimney climb.''
He managed to scale down 9 floors over the course of 30-40 minutes. He went down from the 94th floor to the 85th floor but was knocked off when the South Tower collapsed.
Indomitable human spirit. I wish we knew his name.
Only thing I'll mention about 9/11 today since I don't see it mentioned as much:
The search dogs got visibly stressed and actually lost morale from finding so many deceased people that workers would have to stage "successful rescues" (live people) for them.
Man, my heart..
