What does it feel like to survive the unimaginable? Picture this: the 85th floor of the North Tower, the chaos of the first impact, and the desperate journey down countless flights of stairs as the world collapses around you. Billy Forney shares his gripping, deeply personal account of 9/11, filled with moments of terror, resilience, and even unexpected humanity. From navigating through injured survivors and first responders to escaping just as the second tower fell, his story is a raw, unforgettable snapshot of a day that changed everything. Through it all, Billy reflects on how that experience reshaped his life and why sharing it matters now more than ever.
