Theunicornhunter 2 Posted September 14, 2003 I had not read this before - it was on the Urban Legends site but is apparently a true story. Mayblum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mj 7 Posted September 15, 2003 I had heard about Harry Ramos' sacrifice in an article in Guideposts. It could have been this article. I was touched by the fact that Ramos would not let Victor die alone. I also had heard many stories about the patience, cooperation, and giving of the many New Yorkers and other northeasterners descending those stairs. My favorite survival story was about a group of firemen who survived because they refused to leave one tired middle aged or older woman who could not take another step. They were all in a stairwell when the tower collasped around them in such a way that none of them was hurt seriously, and they were all shortly afterward rescued. I love the fact that they refused to leave the woman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
