Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001.
He has been blind since birth.
His guide dog, Roselle, was under his desk when the plane hit.
The building lurched.
Smoke filled the offices.
People shouted.
Roselle stood, calm, and waited for the harness.
They went into Stairwell B and started down. Seventy-eight floors.
Firefighters passed them going up.
Jet fuel burned in the air.
A woman stopped, too afraid to keep walking.
Hingson talked her forward.
Roselle never pulled away, never panicked, never stopped.
They reached the lobby and then the street.
Minutes later the South Tower fell and a wall of dust rolled over them.
Roselle kept leading.
Hingson lived.
Roselle lived.
They walked out of a building that would not be standing an hour later.
He has spent the years since telling the story not as a miracle of sight, but as a story of trust: a man who could not see the stairs, and a dog who did not need to be told that the only way out was down.
Remember Michael Hingson.
Remember Roselle.
Remember everyone who started down those stairs and never reached the street.
@GoldLiger0X@amphoraecs@B_Wanyana@ssebgra@JCFights that can happen, but does it always? no. there are cliques in certain prisons and child pedos will stick together, so there is literally no guarantee that the mf would’ve died in prison and you’re just feeling bad for a pedo, weird ass behavior.
Thank you for the memories ❤️🕊️
These legendary voices became part of generations of childhoods.
From anime and animation to gaming, they helped create some of the voices that became part of our childhoods, our favorite shows, and the stories we still return to.
Michael McFarland — For many English-speaking Dragon Ball fans, his Master Roshi became the definitive voice of the Turtle Hermit. He also voiced Yajirobe, Baby Vegeta, Buggy the Clown in One Piece, and Jean Havoc in Fullmetal Alchemist, while directing numerous anime dubs.
Peter Cullen — The voice that became inseparable from Optimus Prime. For more than four decades, Cullen gave the Autobot leader his strength, dignity, compassion, and unmistakable presence. He was also the beloved Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh and provided the iconic vocal effects for the Predator.
Tim Curry — A performer whose range seemed limitless, from Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Pennywise in It to Wadsworth in Clue and countless animated characters. His work crossed stage, film, television, and voice acting for generations.
Dolly Parton — More than a country music superstar, Dolly became a songwriter, actress, producer, businesswoman, and philanthropist whose influence reached far beyond music. With songs like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You,” along with her work in 9 to 5 and the Imagination Library, her legacy reaches both entertainment and generations of children.
Francisco Reséndez — A veteran whose work reached generations through Ord in Dragon Tales, Scooby-Doo, Commander Pixis in Attack on Titan, and Makarov Dreyar in Fairy Tail. His work as a dubbing director also helped shape the Spanish-language versions of major productions.
Hayden Panettiere — From Claire Bennet in Heroes and Juliette Barnes in Nashville to Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts games, Panettiere left an impact across television, film, and gaming. Her career began when she was a child, making her part of many viewers’ earliest memories of Hollywood.
Daveigh Chase — The voice of Lilo in Lilo & Stitch and the performer behind Samara Morgan in The Ring. Those two roles alone placed her on opposite ends of pop culture, showing the remarkable range she displayed from a very young age.
Tom Kane — One of the most prolific voices in modern animation, Kane became especially beloved for Yoda, Admiral Yularen, and the narrator of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He was also the voice of Professor Utonium in The Powerpuff Girls and worked across hundreds of productions.
Michael Donovan — A Canadian dubbing veteran whose voice became familiar to anime fans through Master Roshi in Dragon Ball, Ryoga Hibiki in Ranma ½, Zouken Matou in Fate/Zero, and Suikotsu in Inuyasha. He also contributed extensively to Western animation and voice direction.
Different voices. Different characters. Different generations.
But there is one thing they all share:
They gave fictional characters something human, a voice, a personality, and a memory that could stay with us long after the credits rolled.
Every time we revisit Dragon Ball, Transformers, Star Wars, The Powerpuff Girls, Lilo & Stitch, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or the countless other worlds they helped bring to life, their work gets another moment to live.
The voices may have left us, but the characters will keep speaking. And through them, these legends will keep being heard. ❤️🕊️
