That man’s name was Welles Crowther and he single handedly saved 18 lives that day by repeatedly leading groups of people to safety all the way from the 78th floor of the South Tower. He even carried a woman 17 floors who was too injured and weak to walk. He died during the collapse because he refused to leave anyone behind and went back into the building hoping to find more survivors. He was more of a man and hero than Trump could ever hope to be.
