EP85: The Man in the Red Bandana

But on September 11, 2001, as chaos engulfed the South Tower of the World Trade Center, Welles Remy Crowther defied that instinct. Amid the smoke and fire, with the ground shaking beneath him and flames licking at his skin, he chose not to run. Instead, he repeatedly charged back into the inferno, not for himself, but to save others. Driven by something far stronger than fear, he guided the lost, comforted the wounded, and led the terrified to safety. He knew the risks—each step could be his last—but his deep sense of duty and compassion never wavered. In those moments of unimaginable terror, he saved 18 lives. This man, who faced death without flinching, who stood as a beacon of courage and selflessness in the darkest of times, was The Man in the Red Bandana.
