#152: Joseph Dittmar: Remembering 9/11: Surviving The Fall Of The Twin Towers

Introduction

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. That day, 3,000 lives were lost when a plane struck the North Tower, and then – 17 minutes later – a second plane hit the South Tower.

Today’s guest, Joseph Dittmar, was on the 105th floor of the South Tower when the plane struck the building. Miraculously, he was one of the few who made it out alive that day. Joseph joins us to share his story and how the tragic events of that day unfolded around him.
