This document is the "memorandum for the record" memorializing one of the hundreds of interviews conducted by the 9/11 Commission after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.
This interview was with staff from Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., which was in the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Included is a description of the actions of Rick Rescorla, who was in charge of safety for approximately the 2,700 Morgan Stanley Dean Witter employees in the South Tower.
On 9/11, Rescorla's leadership, and the safety plans he had developed, helped save thousands of lives. Rescorla was last seen heading up the stairs of the South Tower to make sure that everyone made it out. He was one of the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives that day.
