A 9/11 Tower of Courage
It’s a shame John Wayne isn’t alive today to portray Rick Rescorla, one of the remarkable heroes of 9/11.
On September 11, 2007, I filled in for Vicki McKenna on WISN and read portions of an outstanding column about Rescorla.

In a 2,000-degree inferno, the tower crumples and crashes to the ground at 9:55 am. Minutes later, at 10:29 am, the north tower collapses.
