Welles Crowther, known as the "man in the red bandana," is being honored by friends and family for his acts of bravery on September 11, 2001. Crowther's friend, Jack Moran Jr., spoke about his courageous actions during the September 11 attacks.
Crowther, a volunteer firefighter, was working in the South Tower of the World Trade Center when the planes struck. He is credited with saving the lives of at least 10 people by guiding them through the smoke and debris to safety. He ultimately perished in the collapse of the South Tower.
His red bandana, which he used to help victims breathe through the smoke, became a symbol of his heroism. The story of his selflessness has continued to inspire people in the years since the attacks.
