Meet The Man With The Red Bandanna; The Unsung Hero Of 9/11

Welles Crowther was an ordinary guy, who worked a pretty ordinary job in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. What he did on 9/11 though, was anything but ordinary.

Welles body was found weeks after the attack, just inches away from being out of the South Tower on the bottom floor. His parents wondered; what stopped him? Why didn't he make it out? It turns out that Welles was distracted, helping others get to safety to save himself.

Welles had saved five people from the flames and explosions when the Tower was hit. He carried a woman on his shoulders and lead others to the stairs, bringing them down to the ground floor and out, away from the madness. After making sure everyone was safe, Welles had gone back in to try and help others. He never made it back out.

Several survivors have come forward, crediting Welles for their lives. He wore his lucky red bandanna. That's how they recognized him.

Welles' father found an FDNY application in Welles' apartment, dated just weeks before 9/11. He never handed it in, but had filled it out. Jeff, Welles dad handed it in to see if his son would have made the grade.

The FDNY got back to him quickly; their answer? A unanimous yes.

Thank you Welles. You will never be forgotten.
