Surviving 9 11 and Finding Hope | Portland Maine News

At just 22, Chad Creevy was on the 61st floor of the World Trade Center’s South Tower on 9/11 when the unthinkable unfolded—clear skies turned to chaos as jet fuel fumes and debris filled the air. Evacuating after the second plane struck, he emerged into street-level devastation, only later learning his tower had collapsed. Reuniting with his family brought fleeting relief amid profound trauma. For a year, survivor’s guilt and nightmares haunted him—but faith and his wife Dana anchored him through the healing. Now 25 years later, a finance professional and school board member, Creevy shares his story not as a tale of horror, but as a beacon of resilience: even when everything else fades, inner strength and hope endure.
