From the Collection: Red backpack with "WTC Fire Watch" belonging to The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey comptroller Michael Fabiano, fire warden of North Tower’ 69th floor. On 9/11, Michael was lifted out of his chair when hijacked Flight 11 crashed into the building, and urged his colleagues to evacuate at once. Among the people in the office that morning was John Abruzzo, a quadriplegic who relied on a battery-powered wheelchair for mobility. A group of 10 co-workers transferred Abruzzo to a portable evacuation chair, retrieved a backpack filled with first aid supplies, and entered the stairwell. Margaret Zoch led the way, carrying coats and other possessions, while the rest of the group took turns carrying Abruzzo.

As they neared the building’s lower floors, firefighters encouraged the group to speed their exit by leaving Abruzzo with them. Choosing instead to continue together, the group proceeded to the lobby with Abruzzo and exited the tower through a broken window, minutes before the collapse.

"DUST" Trailer

Last night, the Museum's Visionary Network hosted a screening of Bridget Gormley's documentary DUST: The Lingering Legacy, chronicling the story and struggles of first responders and survivors suffering from 9/11-related illnesses. Bridget - whose firefighter father Bill died of lung cancer in 2017 - highlights the political, legal, and physical battles facing this community as they seek recognition and compensation. The special event - attended by Visionaries, the film's contributors, and affected members of the 9/11 community - was a powerful reminder of the ongoing repercussions of the attacks, and the work being done to ensure we "never forget."
