Rick Rescorla, who was the director of security for the financial services firm Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center, “had boosted morale among his men in Vietnam by singing … songs [like "Men of Harlech"] from his youth” and he did the same in the stairwell of the doomed tower, urging the terrified hundreds down the stairwell.
Between songs, Rescorla called his wife, telling her, “Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I’ve never been happier. You made my life.” After successfully evacuating most of Morgan Stanley’s 2,687 employees, he went back into the building.
He was never seen again.
