A Survivor’s Mission to Remember | Durham News

from Durham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Twenty-five years after 9/11, survivor Dempsey shares harrowing firsthand accounts of that fateful day—when he was trapped in the World Trade Center and his wife narrowly escaped death by being late for work. He recounts being trampled, knocked unconscious, and waking up as the second tower collapsed around him, leaving him with a fractured skull. Now, he dedicates his life to educating younger generations through advocacy, co-founding the 9/11 Education Trust and supporting survivors’ charities. Inspired by the unprecedented unity witnessed on September 12th, Dempsey believes it’s vital to preserve that spirit of patriotism and brotherhood, urging future generations to hear directly from those who lived through history—and to never forget.
