Joe Dittmar reflects on his own experiences during the tragedy of September 11th. Indiana State University College of Arts and Sciences Criminology & Criminal Justice Guest Speaker Series
Thank you for helping shape those young impressionable minds with such a compelling story. I know I will never forget. God bless the greatest country in the world and all that reside here. Thanks again sir
@33:30 he's talking about 32 Jose Marrero who was a security guard for Euro Brokers and he was going to try to help and save his friend Dave Vera who was trap with a couple of other ppl. Both died that day.
Yes, I was wondering if it was the guy to whom Brian Clark referred. How interesting that Dittmar does not know that Marrero survived when he and Clark have such similar stories, descending the South Tower by stairs the whole way down and when they have both told their stories many times
@@benlowry9357 Jose died that day. As he was going back up after making all the way down to the 23rd floor. On the way back up the tower collapsed. I never forget where I was on 9/11. I was in my 12th grade Economics Class.
@@corrynthiaiam9205 Hi Corrynthia, I do remember the story of Jose, as told by Brian Clark, who survived from the 84th floor of the south Tower. My surprise is that Dittmar says he hoped the man he saw turned round lived, which suggests he does not know that Jose died. That is what surprised me. You were a kid when it all happened. I was a man of almost 30, in a restaurant in Belfast when I heard
World Trade. The Station. Collectiv and Perm. Grenville. If the building you are in is on fire, regardless of reason, get out. Don’t wait for rescue. The people who were told to shelter in place and did -died. The ones who said, “I have to get down” and didn’t follow advice -well meaning advice from people doing their best-lived to go home.
Rick Blood died that morning. Mary Wieman also died on the 78th-floor sky lobby. Joe Dittmar owes his life to Rick Blood. If Rick wasn't so adamant, Joe would've died with Mary.
