Joanne "Jojo" Capestro has been haunted by the memories of her escape from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, for the past 25 years. The unimaginable sights, smells, and sacrifices she witnessed and endured have remained with her daily.
As the steel of the North and South Towers buckled, Capestro navigated a harrowing journey floor by floor. Her experience was one of profound torture, a sentiment she has carried since that day.
The events of 9/11 led to a unique melding of lives, as Capestro's experience intertwined with that of Phil Penman during the catastrophe.
