9/11 Never Forget The Man in the Red Bandana

Always great to refresh on this story.

That was a touching story. Thank God I can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a child but yet somehow I kept putting myself in their place and it was such a lonely and empty feeling.

I've told this story on here before.

A family friend and a TA&M grad had a meeting on 9/11/2001 at the Marriott WTC. He arrived just about the time AA Flight 11 stuck the north tower. As he heard the sound of the impact and watched the debris start the fall from the sky, he saw an elderly woman who was caught out in the open. He "grabbed" her and "threw" her under a concrete bench on the street. He then shielded her with his own body as pieces of plane and building rained down all around them. After the initial impact, he helped her get up and got her safely out of the area.

You aggies should be proud. One of your own was one of the many unsung heroes of that day.

During the September 10, 2011, UCF-Boston College football game in Orlando, Florida, a day before the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, both schools honored Crowther. Boston College players wore helmet stickers featuring Crowther's signature red bandana during the game, and Crowther's sisters, Honor Fagan and Paige Crowther, were introduced to the crowd during the third quarter.

This is what we should be doing. Now we honor pedophiles and rapists on our jerseys.
