20 Years Later: Remembering Rick Rescorla – America s Good Shepherd On 9/11 | Coronado Island News | coronadonewsca.com
On Sept. 11, 2001, Rick Rescorla was on duty on the 44th floor of the World Trade Center, Tower Two. He was vice president for corporate security at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. and a jumbo jet had just plowed into the other tower.
As smoke rose from Tower One, someone from the Port Authority ordered him to keep his people at their desks. Rescorla replied, Piss off. Everything above where that plane hit is going to collapse and it s going to take the whole building with it. I m getting my people out of here!
