Jean-Emile Jammine warmly welcomes Alessandro Stravato, a firsthand witness to the September 11th attacks. Stravato’s testimony provides a profoundly personal perspective on that tragic day. Observing the second plane strike the World Trade Center from Arthur Ashe Stadium, his immediate response was not to grasp the historical magnitude of the event, but rather to locate his father, who was working at City Hall. He eventually found him alive, though covered in debris and soot, having trekked dozens of blocks through Manhattan. Although his father survived, his health severely declined in the years that followed. In 2015, as Alessandro’s father faced his final battle with cancer, he urged his son to “stay strong.”
