Ep. - 1401 - THE STORY OF WELLES CROWTHER THE MAN WITH THE RED BANDANA

Kate revisits her 2020 interview with Alison Crowther, mother of Welles Crowther—the young man remembered as The Man in the Red Bandana. Welles, 24, was a rookie equities trader at Sandler O’Neil from Upper Nyack, N.Y., who died in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.   In the South Tower, he tied a red bandana across his face as protection and became a rescuer, guiding people down stairwells and returning again and again to help others. He is credited with saving at least 18 lives before perishing alongside New York City firefighters when the tower collapsed. His story has been told in several documentaries, including The Man in the Red Bandana (ESPN) and Man in Red Bandana (Amazon Prime), but his legacy lives on most powerfully through the voices of those he saved—and through his mother, Alison.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
